Tickets have dropped for the Angel’s Ball

You’ll be saying aloha to the holidays when Angels Anonymous presents its signature event, the Festival of Trees and Angel’s Ball, on Saturday, Dec. 7, at Chinook Winds Casino Resort.

This year, the Angel’s Ball has a new twist, or should we say hula. Hawaiian-style fun will be provided by Hot Lava Polynesian Entertainment. To further add to the evening’s theme, buffet-style dining will provide all the delicacies you would expect at a luau. 

In addition to live entertainment and the fabulous buffet, the evening will include the live auction of wonderfully decorated Christmas trees, a 50/50 raffle and a silent auction.

Formal wear is not required but encouraged.

The Festival of Trees, with evergreen trees spectacularly decorated by businesses, individuals and families, will be on display in the casino Convention Center from Wednesday, Dec. 4, until the day of the Angel’s Ball. Public viewings are available Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from noon to 8 pm and Saturday from 10 am to 3 pm. Santa and Mrs. Claus will arrive straight from the North Pole to make a pre-Christmas appearance for photos and Christmas requests on Friday, Dec. 6, from 5 to 8 pm.

Sponsors are still needed, so put on your thinking caps and plan a dazzling tree for your family or your business to sponsor at the Festival of Trees and watch it raise money at the live auction on the night of the ball. The cost for a space and a tree to decorate provided by Angels Anonymous is $100. If you provide your own tree, the cost is $50.

Individuals are also invited to create wreaths that will be part of the evening’s silent auction. The cost is $25 to sponsor a wreath. 

Tickets to the ball are $125 per person or a table of eight for $1,000. For more information, go to angels-anonymous-lc.org or call Phil Robertson at 541-921-7359 or Roger Robertson at 541-996-7474.
