The month of October is perfect for some Wicked fun and we thought a perfect way to celebrate is by being "Wicked" together! Since we are doing the Wicked Whammy Wheel of Cash, we thought it would be cool to incorporate the coming of Wicked the Musical to the Smith Center.  The Grand Prize is 3 drawings for 2 pairs of general admission tickets for Sunday 11/2 at the 2:00 PM show. Limo service will be provided by the Emerald Island Casino to the Smith Center and back after the show.  Then dinner for two after the show at the Emerald Island Grille.
