The Spring for Glacier fundraiser theme this year pays tribute to Glacier National Park’s railroad past. The event benefits the Park’s four partners: Glacier Institute, Glacier Association, Glacier National Park Associates and Glacier National Park Fund.
The event will begin Friday, May 18, with a reception at the historic Belton Chalet in West Glacier at 4 p.m. with cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and ticket sales for the golden ticket raffle. The winner will be announced later during the live auction.
Guests can ride an historic Red Bus to Lake McDonald Lodge between 5:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. where festivities will continue until 10 p.m. Activities will include hors d’oeuvres, wines and microbrews along with scenic boat rides by Glacier Park Boat Company, music by David Walburn, original art works by local artists, and silent and live auctions.
The live auction will begin at 8:30 p.m. in the lodge auditorium, preceded by dessert, coffee and music by the Crown of the Continent Choir. Participating artists include Rob Akey, Sheryl Bodily, Nancy Cawdrey, Haakon Ensign, Allen Jimmerson, Karen Leigh, Rochelle Lombardi, Nicholas Oberling, Mark Ogle, Cliff Rossberg, Linda Tippetts and Rusti Warner.
Cost is $125 per person. Tickets are limited and must be purchased in advance. For more information, call 888-9039.
