Ballantyne After Dark
In 2007 we expanded our community efforts to bring the area residents together and one of our members suggested calling it
Ballantyne After Dark or just plain BAD. With the cooperation of the Gallery Restaurant & Bar at Ballantyne Resort we have
now held 3 BAD parties, 2 in 2007 and one in 2008 on Feb. 29th. which drew over 210 people who enjoyed food and drink
specials and a special Tommy Bahama fashion show at the Gallery.
