ABOUT THE GALA

The DEA Gala is your chance to kick off your spring with a great excuse to get dressed up, go out, enjoy great food, have some fun, enjoy good company, and spend a little money for a great cause.  This year’s Gala will be held at Station 343 and will feature dinner, a wine and bourbon tasting, a live auction, prize boards, and games.  The money raised helps the Dwight Economic Alliance to continue its work in support of the Dwight community.
