Night Will Be Bright One Come Rain Or Come Stars
You may have heard the phrase describing the sometimes-unpredictable weather in the Spokane area that we have recently experienced: “If you don’t like the weather, wait a minute.”
Organizers of outdoor events know this all too well but always hope their date is a dry one.
Live music, a silent auction, hors d’oeuvres, wine and dancing under the full moon are all part of the fifth annual “An Evening Under the Stars,” July 13, from 5:30 p.m. to 10 p.m., at Arbor Crest Cliff House in the Spokane Valley.
The event is being presented by Spokane Public Radio-KBPX FM91 and Katherine Gellhorn.
The evening features a social hour beginning at 5:30 p.m. with background music by Capriccio. The Angus Scott Pipe Band will make a special appearance. Dancing will be from 7:45 p.m. to 10 p.m. with live jazz by the Pamela McGuire Quartet.
Advance tickets of $20 are on sale through July 18 at KPBX, 2319 N. Monroe. Ticket sales are limited and you must be 21 or older to attend. For ticket orders or more information, call 328-5729.
Auction benefits retreat center
More than 200 players braved rain and chilly temperatures to participate in the recent Salvation Army Women’s Auxiliary Golf Classic held at Wandermere Golf Course.
A dinner and auction the previous evening attracted 250 people who contributed more than $15,000, almost doubling the amount raised at last year’s auction.
Money raised will go toward construction of a new 250-person dining hall and retreat center facility at Camp Gifford.
Local artists at Corbin
A show currently hanging at the Corbin Art Center features the work of two local artists, Dorothy Fowler and Marian Flahavin, who are nationally known. Works of note include a bronze portrait of Katherine Gelhorn that is permanently exhibited at Interplayers Theatre and an oil portrait of Jeanene Russell, the first American to graduate from the Bolshoi Academy in Moscow, Russia. The show will hang until July 10.
