Pride Send Off Dress Rehearsal for Grand Nationals
The Pride Send Off Dress Rehearsal will be on Tuesday, November 8th. This will be an excellent opportunity to see the Prideâ€™s show â€œOver the Edge" before they depart for the BOA Grand National Championship in Indianapolis, IN. The Pride will, once again, sponsor this event as a benefit to BA Neighbors. Admission fee for the event is a canned food or non-perishable food item. This is an excellent opportunity to give back to our Broken Arrow community. Invite your friends!
