Ingersoll has a fantastically fun holiday event this Saturday! The Parisian-themed Snowball party promises to be a blast!
This year, you can stroll the streets of Paris, bite down on some refreshments, and dance the night away as usual.

All of this is going to be happening at Cafe Metropolitan beginning at 7 p.m. and going until midnight. It's $9 to get in the door and that will go to help Ingersoll be able to continue offering their excellent support services.
