Hospice of Huntington will be hosting its fourth annual Beach Party rom 8 p.m. to midnight on Saturday at the Veterans Memorial Field House.
The event is open to the public, with ticket prices starting at $35 if purchased in advance and $40 if bought at the door. Guests also have a third ticket option of reserving a 10-seat table for $500. All other seating is on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Food at the party will be a boardwalk-style menu, which includes pulled barbeque chicken, pizza, Coney Island hot dogs and cotton candy. There will also be a cash bar for those who would like to purchase alcoholic beverages.
Party activities will include volleyball, corn-hole, dancing and an inflatable slide. Door prizes will be given through out the evening. Guests can also purchase a raffle ticket for a chance to win a trip for two to Clearwater, Fla.
This event usually takes place in March, but because of the demolition of the field house at the end of February, the party had to be moved forward. This year's beach party is different because it will be one of the last events taking place at the field house. For this reason, Hospice of Huntington will bid farewell by incorporating a slide show of past events at the field house.
Ashley Mannon, marketing and development assistant at Hospice of Huntington, said she expects a good turnout for the beach party.
"We are looking forward to another successful event," Mannon said. "We think those in attendance will have a very enjoyable time as we bid a final farewell to the field house."
The musical entertainment for the evening will be provided by the Catalinas from Charlotte, N.C., and disk jockey, Chuck Black of The Dawg 93.7 FM.
Attire will be casual dress and the atmosphere for the evening will be a beach theme.
To purchase tickets in advance, contact Ashley Mannon with Hospice of Huntington at 304-529-4217 or 1-800-788-5480. Office hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
