The museum’s annual fundraiser, which includes dinner and a show, will be held on Feb. 25 at 6 p.m. at the Ponderay Events Center. Tickets are $50 for general admission and $45 for BCHS members.
Guests will be transported back in time to the Sandpoint Rink Opera House in 1909, for an evening of Vaudeville-style entertainment and intrigue including opera, dancers, magic, music, Shakespeare, drama, juggling, acrobats and of course a mystery waiting to be solved, and a prizes to be won, all while enjoying a full dinner buffet by Skeye’s the Limit Catering. All of the proceeds from this event go to the Museum, to help support its ongoing mission of “History Creating Community.”
