"Sip N Stroll was created to raise funds for The Ballard House, and funding is needed especially now," said Constance McDerby, founder and co-producer of Sip N Stroll. "We had to find a safe way to move forward to help generate the funding they depend on from Sip N Stroll."
Katy Sip N Stroll will be at a new venue: The Ark by Norris at 21402 Merchants Way, Katy, per the release.
