It’s five o’clock somewhere! 🦜Here’s your shot at owning an incredible collectible - a guitar 🎸signed by the late Jimmy Buffett!

Thanks to the generosity of Steve & Page Gesualdo, this Huntington guitar is being raffled to raise funds for ongoing theatre renovations. 🏬 While we’ve made great progress, there’s still plenty to tackle, including roof replacement, brick repairs, and marquee upgrades.
