Fools Ball 1996

at Roger Williams Park Casino, March 29, 1996

AS220 is pleased to announce its corporate sponsorship for our Second Annual Fools Ball. The Fools Ball is our major annual fund raiser and is a very necessary part of our operating budget.

Corporate sponsors and individual patrons, will be treated to a cocktail hour and scrumptious soul-food buffet by Faye's Place beginning at 6:30 pm at the Casino, where they'll enjoy:

  • Princess Pearl
  • the Pork Chop Lounge's Burlesque Cabaret
  • the Foolish Auction.
  • the danceable Cuban folk of Canela 14

Meanwhile, downstairs will swing into action at about 9:30 pm with the performance art of Frodus and the barrelhouse blues of The Smoking Jackets. Entertainment upstairs concludes with Three Song Set and the Auction. The evening builds to a rockin' crescendo with the sweeping sounds of The Godrays and the rockabilly of the Royal Crowns.

Guests can buy art right off their dinner table or bid in the Foolish Auction for unique experiences like a date with Big Nazo honcho Quasimodo, a ride in the traffic net plane with Mike Sheridan, or a theatre crawl to a host of off-Trinity productions. Refreshments, beer and wine will be available all evening.

Reservations for the Sponsor's Reception are $75 and may be secured by calling Sheri VanAntwerp at 831-9327.Tickets for the Fool's Ball are $10 and are available at the AS220 Cafe at 115 Empire Street and at the door at the Fool's Ball, Roger Williams Park Casino.
