And we have special guest and auctioneer Matt Smith telling a story! The stories are so good — some are sweet, some are scary, some are funny and all are true.
So get some tickets, and get a free cupcake from Saint Cupcake too!
See you at The Mission at 6 tonight for dinner, 7:30 for the show.
Back Fence is tomorrow, people! We have the most amazing storytellers! We laughed and cried when we heard these stories.
We ran a little contest over at Simler.com to win tickets for Back Fence this Wednesday. You can buy tickets here!
Some goodies from the Simler.com contest:
