Dinner * Costume Contest * Auction
We are excited that this year, on October 8th, our annual gala will be held in person! The Johnson story is A Story to Tell and we intend to celebrate their story and yours! Thanks to our faithful supporters, the Museum survived the challenges of 2020. In fact, the support for our Museum has never been better. Please join us in person or online if you are unable to travel to Chanute.
Where: Lucius Landing, 21755 Harper Rd Chanute, KS * When: Friday October 8th starting at 6pm * Musical Entertainment: Doug Toon * Dinner: Simply Delicious Event Catering * Costume & Table Decor Theme: "A Story to Tell"
Dinner Tickets must be purchased by October 1st. For $30, your ticket includes Tuscan stuffed chicken breast, roasted red potatoes, roasted asparagus, dinner salad, roll, & dessert plus beverage selections. There will be live music by Doug Toon, a costume contest & a Table Design Competition too.
In the very unlikely event we need to take the event fully virtual due to Covid Protocol concerns, your online ticket reservations can be refunded seamlessly online. This event is our most vital fundraiser of our year, but safety always comes first "on Safari!"

We are in desperate need to update our technology! This will allow us to reach more people with our story and include supporters from around the world in our projects and monthly Trustee meetings. Improving the online shopping experience through our Osa's Ark Museum Store would also help insure the stability of one of our main sources of financial support.
