Columbia Firefighters Ball

Columbia Professional Fire Fighters working with Maplewood Barn Theater invite you to a 'Fire Fighter's Ball' to benefit the Maplewood Barn theater.   The Ball will feature food (courtesy of Bleu), drink, dancing and a live auction of some of our very own professional fire fighters!

When:  Friday, June 3 - 6pm
Where:  Tiger Hotel Ballroom
Why:  To rebuild the Maplewood Barn Theater
How:  Purchase a ticket or sponsor the event! 
Price of admission - $50


In April, 2010, the historic Maplewood Barn was lost to a tragic fire.  While devastating, the fire provided the opportunity to shape a new future for the Barn. The new vision reflects the City’s Parks and Recreation Master Plan for developing Nifong Park.  From theatrical performances to outdoor music and family events, the Barn will be the centerpiece of Columbia’s newest entertainment destination.  

Show your support by purchasing tickets or an event sponsorship. For more information, contact Pam Ogles by e-mail at pam@sassafrasagency.com or cell phone - (573) 489-8150.    You can also Brad Fraizer by e-mail - bradfraizer@iaff1055.org
