Countdown has begun
for the S.W. Smith “Silver Linings Dinner Cruise,” to be held Saturday,
November 8 at the Star Hose Company firehall in Port Allegany. This year’s 25th
annual event promises to feature cruise-themed fun and games for everyone,
along with a multitude of prizes and auction items ranging from an iPad Mini to
sports tickets.
Doors open at 4 p.m.
Saturday, so “passengers can board the ship” and begin checking out the items
on display for the bucket, silent and live auctions. It’s not too late to
donate a gently used or new item, piece of local artwork, or service; items may
be left at the library. Financial contributions are also welcome. All proceeds
benefit library operating expenses.
Dinner, catered by
the Port Freeze, begins at 7 p.m., with the live auction, conducted by Dan
Carter Auctioneering, beginning at 8 p.m. For the convenience of bidders, for first
time this year credit cards may be used to pay for auction purchases totaling
more than $50.
Highlighted items in
this year’s event are Pittsburgh Steelers, Penn State, and Buffalo Sabres
tickets to be auctioned, as well as an iPad Mini and cover donated by Port
Allegany Education Association, which auction-goers can “sink or swim” to win.
In addition, three $100 prizes will be awarded (must be present to win). A
photo booth will capture the evening’s memories, and as in previous years, the
fun and games will be set to music by local deejay service Karizma.
A few tickets are
still available at a cost of $30 each; for an additional $100 fee – just $10
more per person -- a “Captain’s Table” is available, which seats 10 individuals
and includes two bottles of champagne. Tickets can be purchased at S.W. Smith
Library, Port Freeze and Port Pharmacy.
