- **Review**: "Fun time getting together with all my besties from 50 years ago.  Good food, good fun, and a good time was had by all. The champagne toast was great but the food afterwards was even better.  I watched the Buffalo Bills on the wide screen tv while eating wings and pizza.

Absolutely loved the red carpet at River Works, the cheerleaders, and the continuous sparkler fireworks were fabulous. The food was wonderful.  We had light up bracelets and finished the evening with kettle corn and candied apples."
