We haven't forgotten about the best part of dinner-Dessert!!  Tables will participate in the Dessert Dash.  Each guest will be asked to donate a monetary amount.  The table with the highest donation gets to choose first from an array of fabulous desserts. Remaining tables will then get to dash for their dessert based on their table's total.  You definitely want to be seated at a winning table!  The Dessert Dash is one of our most exciting event games.
