Come Hoot & Howl at Stokes Nature Center’s Dinner/Auction Fundraiser
Enjoy an evening of fun, folly and fine dining at Stokes Nature Center’s 9th Annual Dinner/Auction Fundraiser on Saturday, November 4 at the Copper Mill Restaurant. This year’s theme will be “Creatures of the Night” and guests are encouraged to dress as their favorite night creature.
Crawling, slithering and sneaking in the night, snakes, spiders and insects of all kinds will guide guests through the evening’s fun festivities including a contest for the best costumed creature. Special guests include a visit by the displaced planet, Pluto who will allow her loyal fans to have their photos taken with her before she finds permanent residence elsewhere. An original painting by local artist, Jerry Fuhriman celebrating SNC’s upcoming 10th Anniversary will be unveiled.
The evening will start at 6:00 p.m. with a social and silent auction. Dinner will be at 7:00 with the evening program to follow featuring board president, Chris Sands and executive director Jen Levy. A live auction to follow will be hosted by Val Grant.
Guests will hoot and howl as the evening progresses with a goal of raising $30,000 for educational outreach programs for the upcoming 2007 year. This event helps to carry out its mission, to provide opportunities for students of all ages to explore, learn about, and develop appreciation and stewardship for our natural world.
Reservations are recommended as tickets usually sell out. Individual tickets are $35 per person or $350 per table. Tickets are on sale at either Stokes Nature Center or from Fuhriman’s Framing and Fine Art. They can be reserved ahead by calling SNC at 755-3239 or visiting online at www.logannature.org.
