Another special evening awaits you at the Saturday night banquet. Doors will open at 5:30 pm. Each table will be adorned with a wonderful “Tell Me A Story” themed Centerpiece which has been hand made by some of Colorado’s talented miniature artisans. Several lucky people will go home with a centerpiece as all who attend will be entered into the centerpiece drawing. To add to the excitement of the night there will be a silent auction. The auction tables will be loaded to the brim with wonderful finds to tempt your pocket book and keep you bidding. After dinner we will have a very special oral auction with our favorite and always fun auctioneer, Amy Fitch. Some incredible miniatures as well as several special centerpieces will be available for the bidding. Warning —bidding wars may occur. If you do not win big in the bidding wars you will not go home empty-handed as there is a surprise gift for everyone.
