The 2013 Pineapple Ball is taking place nearly a month earlier than usual so the countdown is on to boost lagging ticket sales and Journal ad purchases.

The eleventh annual event takes place Friday, April 19. Though 200+ tickets have already been sold the Garden City Hotel's grand ballroom can typically hold 500.

For full event information, including sponsorship opportunities and Journal ads, or to purchase 50/50 raffle tickets at $20 each, call Tracey Gittere at Legendary Events 222-0550 or visit www.gardencitychamber.org.
