“I dedicate this house to the Griswold Family Christmas.” — Clark Griswold
This year, we have a special treat waiting under the tree. Ellen Hamilton Latzen, aka “Ruby Sue” will be crashing our holiday party for a special VIP meet-n-greet opportunity and pre-show live conversation!
Break out your Cousin Eddie bathrobe, or your best Clark outfit and you could be part of our costume contest! Prizes include a one-year membership in the jelly-of-the-month club from Bilberry Jams and Jellies, KST merch and more!
KST will also be offering multiple full bars along with festive Holiday drinks and, of course, freshly popped popcorn!
