Yes, A-Girl, they were thrilled to have been able to see Jerry Vale. Tho not Italian, they saw Steve & Eydie once too. They liked them as well.
Not sure if this was only an Italian thing or not, but back when I was a kid, for special occasions Italians rented a Knights Of Columbus or American Legion Halls. My sister and I (we're a year apart) made our confirmation at the same time. My parents rented an American Legion Hall for the occasion. Heck between both sides of the family, Aunts/Uncles, 1st, 2nd cousins, there'd be at least 100-200 people.
My wedding (way way back) was at a Knights of Columbus Hall. Nowadays, I'm not even sure where or if they are still around.

We had both. We attended christmas parties at the Legion Hall. But we also had the Italian Club where they held a heck of alot of festivities.
