That first party was a success and sold 60 tickets. After DJing several events, Connor has been able to pay back his parents, donate to charity and keep a little for himself.
His next step is hopefully to create a few remixes of his own.
For this New YearB次元官网网址檚 Eve event, he will get some help from his brother Callum, who will be in charge of serving snacks and drinks.
Tickets are $10 and include admission, as well as a glow stick and three tickets that can be exchanged for chips, candy, juice and water. A parent or guardian is expected to attend with their child, and adults and infants get in for free.
There will be lots of seating for anyone not dancing, plus stations for drawing and doing puzzles, and even a few table tennis tables.
