The annual fundraiser for Polson Fairgrounds, Inc. includes a prime-rib buffet, country music for listening and dancing by the popular band Sho Down, and live and silent auctions. Doors to the big heated tent open at 5:30 p.m. at the Polson Fairgrounds, 320 Regatta Road. Enjoy a social hour with a no-host bar provided by the Perfect Shot Tavern while browsing the silent auction and live auction selections.
Dinner will begin at 6:30 p.m., and auction action begins at 7:30 with Sho Down tuning up when the live auction ends.
“We always have a nice selection of donated items for the live and silent auctions,” said PFI secretary Una Rose Graham. She encourages those with items to donate to call her at 406-883-1100.
Tickets are $60 per person with a limited number available at 219 Main and Wild Horse Framing in Polson.
