We welcome you all to our gala event. The food and wine will be presented in the manner of a "strolling dinner". Several stations with different selections of the dinner will be located throughout the large dining room. Also at each station, will be a selection of Wines that have been chosen to pair well with the food served at that station. You are invited to visit all the stations to try each selection.
We also invite you to step outside to the top of the MSU Stadium. However, we ask that you do not bring food or drink into the stadium area. Our event is also smoke free, as are the facilities at MSU. To smoke you must go completely outside of the Stadium area. Thank you.
