Cranberry Crush Offers Fun For Adults On Saturday Evening of Cranberry Fest
EAGLE RIVER, Wis. – Trees For Tomorrow (TFT), an accredited natural resources specialty school in Eagle River, WI invites you to attend the Cranberry Crush Casino Night & Music Fundraiser on Saturday, Oct. 6, 2018.
Cranberry Fest is one of Eagle River’s biggest events with more than 40,000 people attending the festival annually. After the gates close at Cranberry Fest, TFT looks forward to welcoming visitors to the Cranberry Crush Casino Night & Music Fundraiser on Saturday evening on its campus, located at 519 E. Sheridan Street, Eagle River. Underage individuals may only enter if accompanied by a parent, legal guardian or spouse of legal age.
“Adults can join us for casino games, live bluegrass or both while helping us raise funds for school programs throughout the year,” said Robin Ginner, Executive Director.
The evening kicks off at 5:30 p.m. with casino games — fake money, real fun— including table games, craps, poker and roulette until 8:30 p.m. Heavy hors d’oeuvres, wine and beer will be served as attendees spin the roulette wheel, throw some dice, or try their hand at poker and blackjack. Guests will receive $2,500 in starter cash and two complimentary drinks. Additional cash to play games will be available for purchase. Instead of winning cash, guests will win tickets for fabulous raffle prizes donated by local businesses and organizations.
Once the last hand is won, the evening continues under the big top tent in the campus oval at 9 p.m. with live bluegrass music by Miles Over Mountains (MOM), a progressive, high-energy band from McHenry, IL. They will be serving up a cache of original material and a refreshing variety of cover songs infused with their own, unique style. Collectively, with decades of experience under their belts, MOM strives to provide the audience with a fun and freeing experience. Thank you to the John & Melinda Besse Foundation for sponsoring the band.
Tickets for the event are $45 per person for casino games and music, $35 per person for casino night only, or $20 per person for admission to see the band. Please leave pets at home. Tickets can be purchased online at TreesForTomorrow.com or stop by our office and pay by cash or check to avoid online fees.
“This event is a great opportunity for adults to enjoy a night out in Eagle River,” Ginner said. “Make a sure bet — come to TFT’s campus and help us raise money to support programs that prepare today’s youth to be tomorrow’s stewards of our natural world.”
