FORT RUCKER, Ala. (February 13, 2015) -- Colder temperatures may currently occupy the southern air, but several events are on tap to help couples keep warm while they celebrate Valentine's Day this weekend.
Two opportunities to experience a pre-planned dinner and entertainment are available for couples.
The Landing Zone hosts a Sweetheart Dinner Friday and Saturday from 4-8 p.m. The three-course meal features numerous choices for each course, including shrimp, salad, lobster bisque, grilled salmon and an assortment of desserts for $24.95 per person. Availability is limited and reservations are highly recommended. The Landing Zone menu will not be available during the Sweetheart Dinner.
For more information or to make reservations, call 598-8025.
Immediately following the Sweetheart Dinner, Dueling Pianos return to The Landing Friday and Saturday. Doors to the main ballroom open at 7 p.m. and the show begins at 8 p.m.
According to Janice Erdlitz, Directorate of Family, Morale, Welfare and Recreation marketing director, the show provides the perfect ending to a romantic evening.
"Dueling Pianos is a super popular event," she said. "Everyone always has a fun time. The atmosphere with the music and singing, and even sometimes dancing, allows everyone an opportunity to relax, unwind and enjoy themselves. We have some very talented piano players coming in for the shows. The music and songs are just contagious. Before you know it, you'll be singing along with everyone. It's a perfect night out."
For more information about Dueling Pianos, call 598-2426.
Erdlitz said the two events provide a worry-free romantic evening for the community to enjoy close to home.
"The Landing Zone is always a great place to grab lunch or enjoy a nice dinner out," she said. "But during Valentine's weekend, they go all out. It's fabulous. Our chefs must love Valentine's Day because they have an amazing menu planned.
"It's three courses of culinary delight," she added. "My personal recommendation would be the lobster bisque with sweet corn fritters, followed by the grilled filet mignon with chocolate-coffee barbecue sauce, with the molten lava chocolate cake to end the perfect meal. But The Landing Zone has a uniquely scrumptious menu that will make anyone happy."
The combination of convenient location, quality service, and two available nights make the Sweetheart Dinner and Dueling Pianos night out a no-brainer, Erdlitz said.
"Sweetheart Dinner and Dueling Pianos is just the perfect combination for a romantic night out," she said. "The Landing and their amazing staff are setting the mood for a memorable Valentine's Day. And because we're offering both on Friday and Saturday night, you can pick which night works best for you.
"[DFMWR] is committed to providing fun, energizing events for our Soldiers, families, retirees and civilians in the Wiregrass," she added. "We know we have a diverse community and we always want to offer something everyone can enjoy. We love to provide quality entertainment events on post for all our patrons to enjoy."
In addition to these two events, Rucker Lanes is offering a "Sweetheart Bowling" two-for-$10 special Saturday from 8 p.m. until midnight.
