St. Charles dancers will spin into view in "The Nutcracker" ballet.

Meals will include chicken, pork chops, au gratin potatoes, green beans, salad, cookies, wassail and coffee.

The menu features three pieces of Sgt. Dotson’s Famous Fried Catfish, french fries, hush puppies, coleslaw and a dinner roll.

A retired U.S. Navy SEAL commander, author/evangelist Michael Imhof will speak.

The dinner is dine-in or carryout, with funds being raised for local veterans.

Once again, this event is a fundraiser for the food pantries that serve both the Plano and Sandwich communities. The Sandwich Lions Club will have personnel on hand to collect either nonperishable goods or monetary donations that the pantries can use for the coming winter season.

After a virtual celebration last year, the all-ages wizarding world-themed event will return in-person to the historic Woodstock Square this month.

The committee noted that both Kee and Martin are prominent businesswomen and dedicate much of their time and effort to their respective business communities as well as devoting countless hours to other charities, causes or events in and around the Plano and Sandwich communities.

“This event is what this job is about, safety and community engagement; it helps to have some fun while doing just that,” says Commander Liz Palko, lead organizer of the event.
