The Sanibel Historical Village will host a “Let’s Get Historical!” USO Canteen Dinner & Dance at 6 p.m. March 16 on the village grounds. The benefit will support the ongoing needs of the historical village.
“Our needs range from everything from painting to roof repair,” said museum manager Emilie Alfino. “We need to air condition some of the buildings where possible, fix holes in some of the walls, install lighting and replace worn out signs. This is just a sample of the long list of projects we need to address.”
The event will include music by Kelly & Shelly, a husband-and-wife duo with an extremely versatile style. According to their website, their special knack is including their audience in their performance. Performing together for more than 25 years, the Kelly & Shelly duo comes highly recommended.
One of Kelly & Shelly’s specialties is dance music, and the evening will have dancing, as well as a sit-down dinner by Sanibel Catering Co. by Bailey’s. Known for excellence throughout the island, Sanibel Catering will be offering three dinner choices: herb-crusted prime rib, Florida citrus grilled chicken breast, and pesto-crusted Atlantic salmon.
Tickets are $150 each, with sponsor levels available at the $1,000, $500, and $300 levels. For tickets, contact Emilie Alfino at 472-4648 or via email at info@sanibelmuseum.org.
