Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the last Hartley Community Center VIP Night was held in 2019.
A local favorite is back this weekend following an extended absence.
The Hartley Community Center's annual VIP Night will be held on Saturday, March 19 at the local facility. It marks the first such event since 2019, as the COVID-19 pandemic shelved the fundraiser in 2020 and 2021.
HCC Director Brittany Dolphin said she and the board are thrilled to welcome folks back Saturday night.
"We've seen a great response in ticket sales and have sold more than we have in previous years," she said. "We weren't sure how that was going to go given the past two years, but people have been supporting it."
This year's entertainment features the New Stage Players out of South Sioux City, Neb., who will perform the play "Murder At the Pie Auction." Dolphin said the show is interactive and will get audience members involved. It will also feature a real pie auction to help raise funds for the HCC.
"We thought this would be a fun way to get people out for the event," Dolphin said.
The evening will feature a meal catered by Teresa Stueben. According to Dolphin, different courses will be served between acts of the play.
Zach Wohlert, a musician from Primghar, will also play during cocktail hour, which kicks off at 5:30 p.m.
"We hope to see everyone there," Dolphin said. "We're excited to have the VIP back and we think everyone else is, too."
