Blue Goose Ugly Holiday Sweater Extravaganza

Don ye all thy tackiest holiday apparel, bring a token of charity to gladden the hearts of the wee and big, test yer luck at the tables, gorge thy belly upon the bountiful buffet, and maybe acquire ye some holiday loot.

With a request for a donation to the Cheer Board from every attendee, the Manitoba Pond continues it's tradition of ensuring parents in our communities can gift their child a toy during their own holiday celebrations. Hosted this year at Elmwood Legion #9, our Pond is choosing to help another non-profit organization through our event.

Start saving now if you're known at the casino tables for handing over the chips to the dealer instead of handing a full cup of chips to the person with the silent auction tickets! The casino will run for 3 hours, from 5-8pm, giving plenty of time to best your collegues at a game of poker or blackjack, all in hopes of winning extra prize tickets. Silent Auction tickets will be drawn at 8:50pm. Prize donations needed, purchase the addon today and let us do the shopping for you! 3 opportunities remain for Casino sponsorship.

The buffet-style dinner from Charlee's Restaurant & Lounge will be available from the time you walk through the door until your attention is needed at 9pm, allowing everyone to eat leisurely through the night while still partaking in the casino fun. As there is no formal dinnertime, tables are available at all times for almost everyone to sit down and enjoy their dinner. Feel free to continue eating until the food runs out and the bartender rings the bell for last call...maybe even bring your own to-go container! Four more Dinner sponsorship opporutnities remain!

Through the night, we'll be taking nominations for the Best Dressed Awareds - and at 9:00p, it'll be time to get the nominees up on stage for attendee voting on the winners and for silent aution winners to claim their prizes. Best Dressed prize categories will include "Wrong Event Bruh", "You Guys Actually Coordinated!", "You Did That Yourself?", "Wow! Just Wow!", and "The Crowd has Spoken!". Prize sponsorship/donations welcomed :)

Your entry gets you into the final draw of the night, the Door Prize, available only to those who are still there as the event draws to a close. There will be three high-value prize packages up for grabs, so don't go home early!

Sponsorship opportunities for the event and prizes are available with your ticket purchase! Etransfers now accepted!
