I wanted to remind my fellow girl-dads of tomorrow’s popular Antioch Parks Department 2024 Village of Antioch Sweetheart Luau Dance! Last year’s dance sold out, so we’ve moved it to a bigger location – Northbridge Church. As of this afternoon, there are still plenty of tickets available. The Daddy-Daughter Dance is tomorrow, Saturday, February 10th at 5:30 p.m.. Thank you to our event title sponsor Raymond Chevrolet Kia for helping to make the event possible.
