The Plainsman Museum will be having an Evening of Thank You Fundraiser and Basket Auction on February 4, 2012. This evening is a great opportunity to say thank you to a friend, family member or special someone and treat them to an evening at the Plainsman Museum.

The evening will begin with viewing the baskets and a tour of the Plainsman at 5:30p.m. A catered meal by Fayne Petersen and entertainment by Judy Sullivan will follow at 6:00p.m and the live basket auction will start at 7:15 p.m. The Plainsman Rotunda will be the setting for this event and each table will be decorated by a different group or individual featuring their own theme and creativity.

The basket auction will be the highlight of the evening featuring baskets of various sizes and themes donated by community businesses, individuals and organizations. This is a great opportunity to purchase one of a kind baskets.

Tickets for this fundraising event are $25.00 per person. There are no tickets required to attend the basket auction, so if you are unable to come for the meal, please join us for the auction! Tickets can be purchased at the Museum or from any Plainsman Museum board member.

This fundraising event will help to support the Plainsman and our projects in our mission to preserve the history of Hamilton County and its people. This year we will be raising money to help pay for restoring our recently donated 1927 Buick and for resurfacing our parking lot.
