This year’s Spring for Glacier fundraiser theme pays tribute to Glacier National Park’s vivid railroad past. You are invited to join Glacier National Park’s four non-profit partners at Lake McDonald Lodge for a fun-filled evening on Friday, May 18, 2012. This event will benefit the Park’s four partners - Glacier Institute, the Glacier Association, the Glacier National Park Associates and the Glacier National Park Fund – as they support Glacier National Park.
Spring for Glacier launches the 2012 summer season in Glacier National Park. The event begins with a reception at the historic Belton Chalet in West Glacier at 4 p.m. with cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and ticket sales for the Golden Ticket Raffle – with the winner announced later in the evening at the Live Auction. Between 5:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. all guests can ride a historic Red Bus to Lake McDonald Lodge - where the festivities continue until 10 p.m. The activities at the Lodge include a varied selection of hors d’oeuvres, wines and micro brews along with scenic boat rides, entertainment by David Walburn, original art works by local artists, a silent and a live auction.
• Boat tours will be provided by Glacier Park Boat Company with a park naturalist on board to talk about the history and wildlife around Lake McDonald.
• The Silent Auction includes a variety of Glacier and Montana related gifts and products. It starts at 5:30 p.m. in the grand dining room and closes at 7:45 p.m.
• The Live Auction begins at 8:30 p.m. in the Lodge Auditorium - preceded by dessert, coffee and music by the Crown of the Continent Choir. The participating artists include Rob Akey, Sheryl Bodily, Nancy Cawdrey, Haakon Ensign, Allen Jimmerson, Karen Leigh, Rochelle Lombardi, Nicholas Oberling, Mark Ogle, Cliff Rossberg, Linda Tippetts and Rusti Warner.
