The Pacer Christmas Party is quickly approaching.

When: Friday, December 1, 6 p.m. – 11 p.m.  

Where: Grill Fire Company

Tickets must be bought in advance online–we will not be accepting cash at the door (except for raffle tickets). 

Advance ticket purchase makes this much easier on the club volunteers and helps get an accurate headcount for food and alcohol. Plus, you can easily verify your current membership status and/or renew your membership for 2024!

Tickets and info are available at https://runsignup.com/TicketEvent/PacerChrismtasParty

Thank you to everyone who donated to our raffle so far! Just a reminder that we are not accepting “day of” raffle items this year.  All raffle items must be given to Julia Hager or Brandon Beane by Tuesday, November 28th. It just makes it easier on everyone. Contact us if you need us to pick something up! 

Raffle tickets are still cash only and will be sold until 8:30 p.m.; the raffle will be drawn at 9 p.m. We have a ton of great prizes this year!

Just a reminder that no outside beverages (including alcoholic beverages won via raffle) can be opened/consumed on the fire company premises…inside or out. They were very adamant about this. 

Can’t wait to see everyone! Bring your dancing shoes!!
