Headlining the star-studded cast will be the USS Lexington Big Band, featuring vocalists Flicka Rahn, Victoria Majors, and David Hiser, as well as special guest fiddler Scott Plant. Attendees are encouraged to wear their dancing shoes and dress in business casual, 1940s era fashion, or a WWII military uniform. Appetizers, a cash bar, and entertainment will be provided. Complimentary valet parking will be available.
