Two events sure to be filled with good cheer will take the stage at the San Juan Community Theatre this holiday season.
A Silent & live auction, gourmet food and wine, and a tribute to the divine Ms. Cline–SJCT’s biggest annual fundraiser returns in the form of the 2014 Holiday Festival, Dec. 6, 5 p.m.
Tap your toe to island musicians Kate Schuman and Keith Busha, as they entertain and pay tribute to the popular country singer, Patsy Cline. Throw a few holiday tunes into the mix, a dancing bonanza at evening’s end complete with blues and jazz, and the Whittier Stage is set for an entertaining jaunt. And, that’s just the beginning.
Radio show host and founder of Northwest Benefit Auctions, Jay Fiske, will emcee the live auction with his unique style and humor. The self-proclaimed “Auction Maestro,” will auction off fine art and exciting travel experiences.
Roche Harbor Resort’s executive chef, Bill Shaw, will dish-up gourmet concoctions, and provide fine wine.
