The Casino’s July Calendar

So you roll into Huletts on Friday looking forward to an exciting 4th of July weekend. What is your first stop?

Well if you read the Casino’s July Calendar here, you’ll know that the live band, the Plum Muffin’s will be playing at the Casino on Friday night AND you can get free appetizers while they last!!!

The Plum Muffin’s played in the Casino in 2009 and were well received. They play Irish music, bluegrass and some good old fashion rock & roll.

So I’ll post a link on the left sidebar with the Casino’s Calendar so you’ll always know what’s going on.
