FRB Annual
HOLIDAY PARTY
The annual Front Range Bears Holiday Party is one of
the top events of the year. By recent tradition, we rotate potluck-style
with a catered event. This year's party will be a "best-of-both-worlds"
soiree -- main dishes and sides catered, PLUS a contest for best member-created
appetizers and desserts. Bring out your best and win a prize! Santa
will make an appearance, and we will have door prizes.
The party will also serve as an introduction to the
Mr.FRB nominees. This year, the Mr.FRB title will be a service award, with
candidates nominated by the membership. There will also be a "Mr.FRB Cub"
award.
Members will be a $15 ticket, and non-member guests
will be $20.
Only pre-registered members and guests will be admitted.
(Last date to purchase was November 30.)
