On Saturday we are celebrating International Mountain Day in Bellingham. We have had a lot of things developing for the event.
Just to remind people of what this is, we're doing a benefit for the Northwest Weather and Avalanche Center with rock rescue clinics, an avalanche awareness seminar and a party. This is all happening on Saturday, December 3rd and you can get details on locations and times, here.
We have booked food (pizza and beer) for the evening event. We have also booked a acoustic musician (Quinton Rundell). And we will be premiering the film, Fifty Years in the Mountains.
In addition to all of this, we will be having a raffle and an auction. Raffle tickets are $5 each and they can be purchased any time. If you purchase a ticket and are not on site to pick it up, then we will mail the prize to you.
Following is a list of donations for the raffle:
