This is not your typical preschool event—this is a night out you won’t want to miss! Enjoy an in-person silent auction, our “Date” drawing, a fully catered evening of appetizers and dinner, beer and wine included, live music, a photo booth, door prizes, and plenty of time to mix and mingle with other parents and members of our valley community.
The event is open to the public, and past years have drawn over 250 attendees. Grab your friends, make it a night, and come see why everyone keeps coming back!
Take a look at these stunning photos from last years event, captured by the talented Brian Zager—a Stott’s Mill parent and the creative force behind Phomo Media.
