CASINO NIGHT DINNER AND SILENT AUCTION

Luck, magic, and music will fill the air on March 10, 2012, at the Brea Historical Society's Casino Night Dinner and Silent Auction.  Guests will feast on a gourmet barbecue dinner prepared by Stonefire Grill.  Poker, blackjack, roulette, and craps will be played on Las Vegas-style casino tables.  Cash in your winnings for an opportunity to win big ticket raffle prizes!

You'll be dazzled by Master of Illusion Kevin Viner, a Southern California magician who headlines at Hollywood's Magic Castle.  Viner will stroll among the tables performing close-up magic.  Keeping the evening hopping will be the number one swing band in Orange County, the Swing Cats Big Band, accompanied by the Swing Kittens.  Fabulous items will be featured in the silent auction.

Proceeds from this event will benefit the Museum's exhibits, educational programs, and archives and collections.  Tickets are $50 for Historical Society members, or $75 for non-members.  Contact Kelli Reed for more details:  (714) 296-6618.
