Chris Hanson Band

media release: Few details yet to be determined…. then we will put up ticket link.

We are again doing our annual New Year’s Eve music and dinner package with a twist- an afternoon meal followed by a 5:30 show to get everyone home early. (Don’t have lunch so you will be good and hungry by mid-afternoon.)

Menu yet to be determined- stay tuned.  Anyone with dietary restrictions should contact us to see if we can accommodate you.

Doors will open at 3:00, and we will begin serving at 3:30.  Seats will be assigned for the show and likely for the dinner. Depending on sales, we may be contacting you with a specific meal time to accommodate feeding everyone comfortably.

The package price includes the meal, dessert and coffee, dinner tip, and the fabulous show.  Your drinks will be put on a tab for you to pay at the break. Chris Hanson band info follows the ticket link, being added any minute.

Some tickets for just the show will also be available. ($40) Please call us at 920-563-9391 if you are interested in that, or e-mail cafecarpe@sbcglobal.net
