Have a ball this holiday season

Have a ball and bid on trees festooned with decorative balls and treasures at the Angels Ball and Festival of Trees, beginning on Wednesday, Nov. 29, and concluding on Saturday, Dec. 2, at Chinook Winds Casino Resort.

Check out the dazzling trees on display at the public viewings Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Santa and Mrs. Claus will arrive straight from the North Pole to make a pre-Christmas appearance for photos and Christmas requests on Friday from 5 to 8 pm.

The festival will conclude on Saturday, Dec. 2, with the Angels Ball, featuring fabulous food, the auction of wonderfully decorated trees, a 50/50 raffle and holiday wreaths in a silent auction along with a wide variety of other items. 

Top off the evening enjoying terrific live music from Collective Nation, back by popular demand. When this band hits the stage, be ready to kick up your heels. Their set includes modern hits from Bruno Mars, Beyonce, DNCE, Maroon 5 and more.

Formal wear is encouraged but not required. 

The event is the main fundraiser for Angels Anonymous, a no-profit that, with the help of generous donors, is able to ensure that many members of the local community meet immediate and basic needs when hard times hit.

Doors for the ball open at 5 pm. Tickets are $125 or $1,000 for a table of eight. Chinook Winds Casino Resort is located at 1777 NW 44th Street in Lincoln City. For more information, go to angels-anonymous-lc.org/events or call 541-921-7359 or 541-996-7474.
