Over the years I have attended, worked with and organized hundreds of festivals and events. With this new series, "INSIDE with the Festival Nomad", I want to give you an "inside" look at some of the festivals and events that I have been involved with or that I have visited. Along the way, I have had a lot of fun and sometimes frustration, but I have never been bored!
The Biggies and
More...
Judi
and I have attended and volunteered at a number of fundraising auction dinners.
These are a lot of fun and, of course, raise money for worthwhile causes. In
the next few articles, I am going to tell you about two of the larger and more
interesting fundraising dinners we have visited and about some of the funny things
that we have seen at other fundraising auctions we have attended!
The Warren Michigan
Banquet (Pre-Banquet Continued) ...
Inside the hall, commerce was taking place! This was
in the form of RGS staff and Delta flight attendants selling special raffle tickets
and manning booths where specialized games took place. The games consisted of various
tried and true tests of skills or luck. The excitement of these games was reflected
at the long line-ups to participate. The girls, who were mainly selling the special
raffle tickets were also very popular. Guests were given a long “string” of theatre tickets. The number of
tickets given were determined by the ticket sellers taking one end of the tickets
in one hand and then stretched across their chest with the other hand. Participants
gravitated to the girls that could provide the most tickets! This spectacle
lasted for a few hours. As the dinner hour approached, Sam asked everyone to find
their pre-assigned seats. The pandemonium turned to chaos as guests scrambled to
find their seats.
