Coldwater of Lee’s Summit will host its annual Winterfest fundraiser on Saturday, February 25, 2017, from 6:00-9:30 p.m. at the Hilton Garden Inn. The featured guest this year is nationally known actor and comedian Michael Joiner.
During Joiner’s 25 years of performing, he was chosen as Hollywood Improv’s “Funniest Comic in LA” and as the 2010 Christian Music Hall of Fame “Comedian of the Year.” His family-friendly routines blend sarcastic edginess and clean humor with clever, hilarious improv. Joiner also performed in the lead role opposite Oscar winner Louis Gosset Jr. in the 2010 release “The Grace Card.” You can learn more about him and watch his previous performances at www.michaeljoiner.com.
This night of fun will also include silent and Piccadilly auctions, as well as other games and prizes. Hereford House will cater the plated dinner and guests can choose from three entrée choices when they register.
The cost to attend Winterfest 2017 is $50 per person through Feb. 14 and $60 until the event. Guests can register for Winterfest by visiting either the Coldwater website (www.coldwater.me) or the event website (www.tinyurl.com/coldwaterwinterfest2017). For more information, call 816-786-0758.
