There’s still time to get your ticket for tonight’s “Go Big, Go Blue” fundraiser at Hotel Pattee to support the Perry School District’s Dewey Field renovation project.

Festivities will include: sampling of the hotel’s new menu, live music, games, and silent and live auctions. The auction items were all donated by local individuals and businesses, and all proceeds of those and ticket sales will go towards phase one of the construction of the new athletic complex. Fundraising committee member Carol Van Kirk says seeing the event come together has been rewarding to witness. “It is amazing to see our community step up and pull together to work for something better for Perry. And I just want to thank everyone who’s donated in any way, whether it be a prize, monetarily, (or) with their service for this project. It’s been really fun, and I sure hope if you haven’t gotten on board yet, that you can do that.”

“Go Big, Go Blue” starts at 6 p.m. Tickets cost $25 and can be purchased at Perry High School, Raccoon Valley Bank, Hotel Pattee, or from any committee member. See below for a full list of items for the live and silent auctions.
