Break away from the winter blues and go out and for a tropical, fun celebration featuring cheeseburgers, sides, Jimmy Buffet music and a cash bar. Plan to attend Cheeseburger In Paradise, a special evening at Fox Valley Community Center from 6 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. Friday. This is a great way to heat up a cold winter night.

Tickets include one hearty, juicy burger, oven fried potato wedges, coleslaw, dessert and one soft drink. Tickets cost $10 in advance or $12 at the door. Dinner will be served from 6 to 7:30 p.m. A DJ will play music for dancing and hula-hoop, limbo and tacky tropical shirt contests will be held. Come dressed in tropical clothes and enjoy a fun evening out.

All proceeds from this event will benefit programs and services for seniors provided by FVOAS. To purchase tickets or for more information, call FVOAS at 815-786-9404.
