The PebbleCreek banquet team is on a roll! Banquet Sales and Catering Coordinators Crystal Thomas and Candice Pakitsos had a very busy and successful 2015-16 season full of special occasions, weddings, private parties and club events, but they’re not content to sit back and let summer drift by. Eager to share selections from their new catering menu, Crystal and Candice created a special summer event they’re calling “T.G.I.S.” (“Thank Goodness It’s Summer”).

T.G.I.S. takes place every Friday through August from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. in the Portofino Bar and Lounge. It’s a great place to meet with friends for a few hours of delicious food and drinks and some weeks even be treated with live music. Each week Chef Jonathan prepares a variety of gourmet appetizers and Bar Manager Brian Cate creates a special, hand-crafted cocktail to compliment the food. In addition to the music, food and cocktails, there’s a raffle to win a beautiful gift basket filled with spirits and snacks – what a way to celebrate Fridays!

This newest PebbleCreek event is off to a great start with tickets for the first Friday selling out quickly. Tickets are $25 per person and seating is limited to 50 people. You must buy a ticket in advance of each event from the PebbleCreek Sales and Catering office located in the Tuscany Falls Clubhouse. The office is open Tuesday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Cash, Checks, Visa or MasterCard are accepted. Contact Crystal Thomas or Candice Pakitsos for more information at 623-935-6726.
