The 5th annual Mad Hatter's Ball will take place October 26, in the Crystal Ballroom of the Crescent Hotel. Check-in is from 6:30 to 7:30. The silent auction will get underway at the same time. There will be Hors d'oeuvres served and a cash bar will be open.

As expected most of the items in the silent auction are works of art donated by locals. Last year's selection was top-notch. I was lucky enough to walk away with a wonderful Jack Miller print and look forward to adding to my collection during this fun filled event.

The main festivities will begin at 7:30 and last until midnight with live music and dancing provided by the Big 'Uns (The Ed Nicholson Band). The silent auction will continue throughout the evening and there will be a «hat» contest.

Please note that hats are required. If you have been to the event in previous years, you know that the hats designed by the «go all out Eurekans» are creations to behold!

«After the ball is over» a War Eagle Mill breakfast buffet will be offered from 10:30 to midnight in the Crystal dining room.

Tickets for the gala are $50 and may be purchased by calling 479-253-5384. The ball is a benefit to raise funds for the Eureka Springs School of the Arts.

The school is located at 15751 Highway 62 West and offers classes taught by highly respected artists in many mediums including painting, drawing, pottery, beadwork, papermaking, and sculpting. Most classes are offered during the summer months and are available to children and adults.
