(Seguin) — With only a handful of tickets and tables left, the Guadalupe County Child Welfare Board is encouraging the community to grab their seats now for the 6th Annual GCCWB Ugly Sweater Dinner Party. The event is scheduled this Saturday night at the Stephen and Mary Birch Texas Theatre in downtown Seguin.
Diane Glover with the Guadalupe County Child Welfare Board says the event is shaping up to be one of the most fun and memorable events yet.
“A bonus this year, we have the famous Burnt Bean catering our meal, so we are excited about that. We also have the returning magician who does some amazing magic that leaves the entire audience ‘wowed.’ So, we are excited about this year,” said Glover.
It is also important to note that attendees are welcome to dress however they like — ugly sweaters are not required — but those who want to participate in the annual contest should come ready to show off their best (or worst) holiday attire. This year, Glover say both an adult winner and a children’s winner will be named.
As Glover mentioned, the event will feature a magic show featuring magician Carlos David plus there will be a silent auction and door prizes.
Glover says the fundraiser plays a crucial role in supporting children served by the welfare board. She says the group is designed to provide essentials that cover those unexpected needs that arise throughout the year.
“Our fundraiser is to raise funds for the abused and neglected children who are involved with CPS and foster care in our county. Every penny that we raise stays here in our county,” said Glover
Tickets are $75 a person. This includes dinner and beverages. These tickets plus tables of 6 and 8 can be purchased online at gccwb.org. Each ticket purchase is tax deductible.
The Ugly Sweater Dinner Party will be held from 6 to 8:30 p.m. The Texas is located at 425 N. Austin St.
