There's Still Time to Book Your Passage!!
RSVP Deadline Extended for an evening of Fun, Food, and Friendship!
Ports of Call Gala Friday, June 25th
The Maritime Museum invites you to hop aboard for a cruise-themed evening of fun and great food as its popular Ports of Call gala moves to a new time and location this year.
The Museum's flagship fundraising event will take place Friday, June 25 at Gordon Lodge, located off County Highway Q north of Baileys Harbor. Social hour begins at 5:30 p.m. followed by dinner at 6:30.
Another new twist this year is an elegant dinner with choices off a set menu beginning with chef's specialty appetizers right through the salad and main courses to dessert. The complete menu for the evening can be found at www.dcmm.org.
Highlighting the cruise theme, entertainment will be similar to what you might find on board a cruise ship. A magician will be performing card tricks; there will be funny-money casino games with professional dealers at the blackjack, roulette and craps tables. People can try their luck at "roulette 50-50" and "ship's wheel of fortune."
As in past years, there will be live and silent auctions featuring some remarkable items, many with a nautical theme. Drawings will take place for two raffles of note involving a tall ship journey from Sturgeon Bay to the Tall Ship Festival in Green Bay on the morning of Aug. 12 and the other for a nutshell pram.
The tall ship raffle includes passage for two on the ship as well as a one-night stay at Stone Harbor Resort in Sturgeon Bay on the night of Aug. 11. Admission to the festival grounds in Green Bay is also included as is transportation back to Sturgeon Bay by the Door County-Green Bay shuttle. Tickets are $5 each and six for $25.
The hand-crafted pram measures 9 ft., 6-in. and has 55-sq. ft. of sail area. The Joel White designed sailboat is quite versatile as a dinghy or tender and features a lapstrake okume plywood hull. Raffle tickets are $10 each or three for $25.
For those living in the Sturgeon Bay area, round trip transportation to Gordon Lodge is available from Door County Trolley, departing 4:45 p.m. from the Maritime Museum in Sturgeon Bay. The cost is $18 per person.
Advance reservations for the gala are required. Tickets are $75 per person and are available at www.dcmm.org or by calling the Museum at 920-743-5958.
Please RSVP by Thursday, June 17--Come join the fun!!
