The origin of 'Saints and Sinners' stems from an Annual Mardi Gras Ball that was hosted by the Downtown Dunedin Merchants Association. Through the years, the Ball has been held at the former Schiller International University on Edgewater Drive and the beautiful ballroom of the Dr. William E. Hale Activity Center in Dunedin.
Thanks to the extraordinary efforts by Ed Halleran, Steve Sika, Kathy Carlson and many more dedicated volunteers, the Ball and its pre-Lenten theme was resurrected and renamed to 'Saints and Sinners' for the benefit of Our Lady of Lourdes Church and School.
In its new home at The Conmy Center, it has grown to include a wide variety of sophisticated patrons enjoying the finer things in life; delectable food, top shelf bars, a richly decorated and theme inspired atmosphere, unlimited dipping at the chocolate fountain and the swanky sounds of Clearwater’s own, The Black Honkeys.
We are proud to bring back the 5th Annual 'Saints and Sinners Ball' to The Conmy Center on February 13, 2010.
