COUNTY LIFE
Shebang event nears on Sept. 17
Exterior of the new agriculture barn at Tales ‘N’ Trails Museum.
Tickets are now on sale for Tales ‘N’ Trails Museum’s Shebang on Sept. 17.
Tickets for the dinner and live auction are $50 each. Call 825-5330 to reserve or buy tickets. Shebang is the only major fundraiser presented by the museum each year and helps with operational expenses and special projects. This year the museum board plans to complete the agriculture exhibit barn with proceeds. This year’s live auction continues the tradition of limited edition framed artwork, but how about a golf cart or a Dareway for persons up to 88 pounds. For experiences consider a tour for eight at Arche´ Winery and a ride to school in a horse drawn carriage.
Also get a ticket for a grand-prize drawing that will offer three top prizes including: Browning 12-gauge Citori shotgun, a Yeti cooler and dinner for 20 at Daddy Sam’s. Tickets are $50 and on sale at the museum.
