<h2>Catered Food, Free Non-Alcoholic Beverages plus The CheckOut's Cash Bar!</h2><p>We'll have sodas, juices, and waters for you all night, and you can purchase alcoholic beverages from The CheckOut's menu. Plus <strong><strong>we'll have catered foods and sweet treats to enjoy throughout the night!</strong></strong></p>

<h2>Get Camera Ready...</h2><p>...for our <strong><strong>CAFM Step and Repeat</strong></strong>, where you can get professional pictures of the stars you are! We'll share all your best poses on our Facebook page after the party, and some might even appear on our Instagram page!</p>

<h2>And we've got all kinds of prizes for you to win!</h2><p>A $20 blinker gives you access to <strong>"Heads and Tails,"</strong> the game where you place your hands on your head or tail, and with a coin flip the crowd is whittled down to one lucky winner for this year's grand prize worth $500!</p>
