A decades-old tradition hosted by the Union City Lions Club, the 34th annual event promises to be a raucous affair complete with a turkey dinner and live music.

Each year, the Lions Club serves up a feast for about 400 local senior residents. The dinner comes with all the fixings: dressing, mashed potatoes, gravy, veggies, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie for dessert.

Doors open at 5 p.m., with dinner starting at 6 p.m. But don’t worry about eating too much — you can sweat it off on the dance floor!

At 8 p.m., the floor will be cleared for 1940s-style swing dancing and live big band music from the U.S.S. Hornet Band.

Guests are encouraged to arrive early to get a good seat.
