The Company of Fools board of directors expects all high rollers to turn out for an evening of fun and entertainment at the Valley Club north of Hailey for its Casino Royale benefit. The fundraising event will take place Friday, Jan. 29, from 6:30-10:30 p.m. Tickets are $150 per person and include $1,500 of Funny Money.
The benefit will support the Company of Fools education programs, including Stages of Wonder, as well as the many productions the theater company produces.
Games will begin at 7 p.m. and include blackjack, poker, roulette and craps. A no-host bar will be available as well as heavy hors d'oeuvres and dessert. At 8:45 p.m., a special curtain call will take place to add to the fun and entertainment.
In addition, the evening will offer raffle items, including a $100 premiere raffle for a luxury six-day trip for two on the Middle Fork of the Salmon River, donated by Far and Away Adventures. The winners will be able to enjoy organic gourmet meals served on a dining table with candlelight. Services offered on the trip will range from yoga and massage to one-of-a-kind, hand-tied flies. Only 300 tickets will be available for this raffle.
Another raffle offer will include a $25 raffle for packages such as dinner and entertainment around the valley, seasonal activities and shopping. A limited number of private tables are available and raffle categories will be called out throughout the evening. To purchase a raffle ticket or find out more details, call 788-6520 or stop by the Liberty Theatre in Hailey Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
