“A Night on the Ponderosa” fundraiser proved to be not only fun but a successful night of bidding in the nineteenth silent auction. More than 125 people vied for products and services provided by 176 Gorge businesses and individuals. Approximately $16,000 was raised, a benefit for general operations, exhibits and educational programs. Join us next year when we celebrate the twentieth auction with the theme, “The Roaring Twenties.” Find that flapper dress, long string of beads, or the striped suit, and come expecting more of the same level of excitement and entertainment.
