Spring Fun Ahead: Cash Calendar, Paint N Sip, and the Elks Derby

Submitted by Linda Thompson, CCSS Chair

We’ve got lots of Spring fun coming your way from the Children’s Christmas Shopping Spree team! Our Spring Cash Calendar winners will be drawn every day in April, with the big $500 winner on tax day, April 15. At least someone should be happy on that day.

On April 26, come join us for our Paint N Sip event, where you can design your own beer or wine glass, or table décor. Prices start at $20, depending on your selection. Jim Bowe will be serving up Smashburgers and we’ll have desserts for a donation. Please see the ad for the sign-up link or contact Linda Thompson at (307) 421-4683.

Be a Derby horse owner! Our Elks Derby will be held on Saturday, May 2. You can own a horse to win $300 for the lucky 1st place winner, plus a $100 Amazon card for the best decorated horse. Contact Linda Thompson to buy your horse for $80, or come out to bid on any remaining horses at 7:15 p.m. on Friday night, April 3. Only eight horses are available.

For all our guests, $8 will get you our appetizer and dessert buffet and chances for gift cards and door prizes. You can wager on our Elks Derby entries and win great prizes for the best hat! Join the fun, starting at 1:30 p.m. Tickets are sold at the door — no need to pre-purchase.

And save the date for the Clampett Olympics on September 12 for a hilarious day of adult-sized games and hillbilly shenanigans, with costume prizes, along with country music and vittles. Missed out on the human slot machine and Roomba pool game last year? Here’s your chance! If you’d like to help put on this great day, please contact Linda.
