Come and Celebrate
at our 25th Annual Fall Auction
____________________________________________________________________
The Last Chance Public Radio Association is celebrating its 29th year of
bringing diverse public radio to the Helena area with its annual fundraising
auction Saturday, November 23rd, 6 pm at the Staggering Ox, 400 Euclid
Avenue in Helena.
The Last Chance Public Radio Association exists to ensure quality public
radio listening opportunities in the Helena area. LCPRA provides volunteer
and financial support to maintain translators on Hogback Mountain,
broadcasting the signals of Yellowstone Public Radio (KEMC) from Billings,
and KGLT – Alternative Public Radio from Bozeman. LCPRA originally
provided translators for Montana Public Radio (KUFM) from Missoula, and
continues to provide the station financial and volunteer support.
Again this fall, generous local and Montana merchants, artists, and listeners
are donating items for our silent auction. Auction items include pottery,
paintings, massage sessions, aromatherapy, indoor and outdoor recreation
items, gift baskets, books, public radio shirts, hats, and mugs – and our usual
dizzying array of gift certificates from local restaurants and establishments,
professional services, and more. If you have something special you’d like to
donate, contact Dawn North at 443-4284.
The WMDs will stir the evening’s air with a lively medley of folk, old-time
country blues, and…only they know – quality music not to be missed!
Enjoy tasty food and dessert from the Staggering Ox, Mediterranean Grill,
Chili O’Brien’s, and the Big Dipper, complementary with admission.
Local craft beers from Helena’s Blackfoot River and Lewis & Clark Brewing
Companies, and a variety of wines from the Pan Handler, will also be
available at the no host bar; non-alcoholic beverages will also be available.
Come and help celebrate another exceptional year of public radio in Helena
at the Last Chance Public Radio Association’s 25th Annual Fall Auction,
Saturday November 23rd, at the Staggering Ox.
Admission is $15 for individuals and $25 for couples.
