It's that time again!

Welcome, welcome..to the 74th annual Hunger Games!.. OH! Uh-no, no!, huh! Scratch that. Welcome, welcome to the 238th annual Marine Corps Birthday Ball. As we begin our prepping, I invite you to share your experiences, whether bad or good, with the rest of us. If you're a first timer I can only imagine the excitement (though I know I once was there myself) and invite you to ask any questions you might have. I will be adding updated ball information in the coming weeks and relevant tips. Please take a look around the blog and enjoy.

Another year of Birthday Ball's has come and gone. I hope everyone had a wonderful time.
Happy Veteran's Day to all!

2012 WINE COUNTRY MARINE CORPS BIRTHDAY BALL: Nov 3rd
The Cocktail Reception starts at 6:30 p.m. followed by the Ceremony at 7:30 p.m. A traditional Prime Rib Dinner will be served during the Dance immediately following the Ceremony. The 2012 "Wine Country Marine Corps Birthday Ball" celebrating the 237th Birthday of the United States Marine Corps will be held on Saturday, November 3, 2012. This will also be the 27th Anniversary of the Wine Country Marine Corps Birthday Ball. The event includes traditional Marine Corps Birthday Ceremonies and dancing to a live band.

Ball Tip #1: Schedule your updo/make-up/nails appointment as soon as possible. This guarantees you an appointment on ball day (salons tend to get all booked up in the area around where the ball is being held). Plus, the stylists can give you a time estimate on how long everything will take so you have a good idea of when to go in. There is nothing worse than not being able to get an appointment or having to run to make it on time to the ball (or worse, sitting with your hair done for hours before the ball even starts).
