The beloved tradition of Salt Creek Ballet’s Nutcracker offers dedicated dancers the opportunity to perform. It also creates lasting memories for the many families who attend one of the performances and the special few who are able to mix and mingle with the dancers. LaGrange Country Club was transformed into a magical showcase for this evening, which raised funds to support the production. Guests enjoyed cocktails, dinner, and of course, performances by the brilliant ballerinas. saltcreekballet.org
