It was so mind-blowingly beautiful and such an unforgettable experience. Somehow I actually just haven&#8217;t been back since then,&#8221; Ritter noted. &#8220;Joe just asked if I would love to host and it was an excuse to get to see it again. I can&#8217;t wait to watch these paintings come to life. It feels like one of the most surreal things I&#8217;ve ever seen live. It&#8217;s very, very beautiful and the amount of work that goes into it is incredible. It&#8217;s perfect for anybody who is down in Laguna and looking for a beautiful moment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Just before the show, Ritter will be <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foapom.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:drawing the winning ticket;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">drawing the winning ticket<\/a> for a brand new 2025 Volvo EX30 Twin Motor Performance Ultra (or $10,000 cash in lieu of a car), which visitors can still buy raffle tickets for with $5 for one ticket or $20 for five tickets.
