Wednesday, December 7 | 6:00 p.m.-9:00 p.m.
The Almond Conference Annual Gala returns this year on a new night – moving to Wednesday evening, December 7 – but with the same combination of industry fellowship and local music, with just a
trace of magic. Celebrated Los Angeles magician Arthur Trace will combine his masterful sleight of hand with imaginative storytelling guaranteed to tickle your mind, senses, and funny bone! Trace was hailed by the Society of American Magicians as “one of the most creative acts in the world of magic today” and the
Chicago Tribune called him “one of magic’s bona fide superstars!” But first, we’ll enjoy dinner while being serenaded by Oakdale’s own Ava Grace (an encore performance from last year’s gala reception) and recognize the annual Almond Achievement Award winners. You won’t want to miss this evening of entertainment (before you head out for the evening’s unofficial festivities)!
