Blair Bash 2022: Red Carpet Event

Dear Community Member,

The Blair Bash is an excellent opportunity to meet others in the community who want to make a difference. We genuinely hope you join us for our Red Carpet Event. Thank you in advance for your support.

The Blair Center for the Arts (BCA, the Blair) is a 501c3 non-profit arts organization in Republic County, Kansas, aiming to provide quality arts and entertainment opportunities to the area to counter the artistic and cultural void in rural locations. At its core, the organization works to improve the community's mental health and quality of life by programming arts and entertainment and maintaining a venue that can host schools, businesses, and community event needs.

To fulfill this mission, the Blair hosts an annual fundraising event. We hope the community will choose to rally around us and invite you to sponsor, donate auction items, or purchase tickets to the event!

Blair Bash will take place on Saturday, November 19th, 2022, at the Blair Center for the Arts at 1310 19th Street, Belleville, KS 66935.

The event doors will open at 5:30 PM, with the casino floor opening at 6:00 PM, closing down at 9:00 PM, and entertainment of Bourbon Street in the auditorium starting after the small live auction that will take place on the stage. Bourbon Street will start at approximately 9:30 PM The event will end at 11 PM.

Ticket information:

All-inclusive Casino Floor and Concert Ticket: $65.00 (Gets $200 in Gaming Chips)

Ticket purchase lets attendees access the live auction and our many Hors D'oeuvers throughout the night. If other food is wanted, attendees are encouraged to support our local eateries on the Square and purchase food from Tuxie's Ten Pin and North Side Pizza!

Due to the success of our first online auction last year, we will hold our silent auction portion again online! Even if you can't attend, you can still support and bid on our silent auction items!

We depend on the added support of our friends in the business community to supply us with exciting auction items. The Blair's ability to continue to operate is mainly due to the generous support of individual donors who believe in our mission and gifts from businesses and corporations. We hope that we can count on you to help support our cause.

If you are willing to donate, please contact the Blair at [email protected] or call 785-630-9747, and someone from our committee will contact you to discuss your contribution.

Sincerely,

The Blair The Blair Center for the Arts Foundation
