• Aug. 14, 2006 - Disney on Ice

The Disney on Ice school performance is Friday, September 22nd at 10:00. This years program is called "Princess Wishes". Tickets are $13.50 (with a .50 service charge added) per person. Regularly tickets are $19 and $23. Last year we got wonderful seats on the floor, because I went to get the tickets early.

If you are interested in going to this show, please mail a check (made out to me) for the full amount of all the tickets/seats you wish to have. I will get the tickets and bring them the first day of Monday Fun. If you are not participating in Monday Fun, I can meet you somewhere and give you your tickets.

Please get the check and number of tickets you need to me by August 22nd. You can email me and let me know it is on the way and get my mailing directions at: knxmag@yahoo.com.

Thanks so much!
Julie Griesen
