FITZGERALDS NIGHTCLUB PRESENTS:
Ron's Very Special Christmas Special!
$20 General Admission
Join us for the 14 th annual edition of the best Holiday Season Kickoff south of the North Pole! It’s a yuletide extravaganza, jampacked with music and mirthmakers. Like the rollicking rocker Dag Juhlin, the perennially poignant Cayne Collier, the whipsmart Westerners Michelle Billingsley and Wild Earp, the heartfelt and hypnotic Christine Melody, the fabled and faithful Famous Brothers, the show stopping, heart- stirring Laura Lopardo, the heavenly and harmonious Christmas Sisters Jodi Walker and Jenny Bienemann, the Children’s School Singers, and me.
And much, much more!
All held together by the holiday house band, the Downsized Elves (Andon Davis, Michael Krayniak, Isaac Lyons, Cathie Van Wert and Paul Bivans.). And hosted by self-proclaimed Mr. Christmas, Ron Lazzeretti. Don’t miss the Holiday Event that’s become a tradition to rival the Holiday Family Newsletter! Get your tickets now. And remember, it’s not a show. It’s a Special!
Grab dinner before the show at BABYGOLD BARBECUE
Or enjoy full service dining inside the club when doors open.
