It’s Time to PARTY for Youth Mentoring! Sunday, May 26, 2019, Vida Buena Farm, Vallecito
Vallecito, CA...Memorial Day weekend boasts more than just garage sales this year...Visitors and community members alike can celebrate Calaveras County’s award-winning Mentoring Program at THE PARTY on Sunday, May 26, 2019, from 6-10pm at Vida Buena Farm, 3286 Vallecito Bypass Road, Vallecito. This year’s theme is “Boots and Bling” and tickets are only $40 per person, available now at CalaverasMentoring.org.
THE PARTY 2019 takes place in the beautiful custom-built barn at Vida Buena Farm, home of Rick and Laura Lowell in Vallecito. Outer Aisle Catering will provide a barbeque feast of chicken, ribs, potatoes, and slaw from locally grown and organic ingredients. Revelers can nibble, mix and mingle at seating scattered throughout the venue, and dance to the swinging California country tunes of Slade Rivers Band. This year’s live auction features at least two memorable dinner parties, a rafting trip with O.A.R.S., and some other surprises in keeping with the theme. Keys to the treasure chest are just $50 for a chance to win a trip to Nashville or New Orleans, designed exclusively for the winner. (Keys are available at the event or by calling 209-736-7706; key holders need not be present to win.)
“We are excited to try this new approach to our PARTY,” said Calaveras Mentoring Foundation President Donna Shannon. “We hope everyone will come out and support our wonderful volunteer mentors and promising kids, and have a great time!”
