Dust off your top hat, grab your calendar and circle February 1, 2025 to save the date for the Second Annual Groundhog’s Day Gala at the Whiting Knights of Columbus Hall. The event will run from 6 pm — 11 pm.
Just like the first one, this fundraiser will be a “hole” lot of fun and include dinner, entertainment, and an open bar. All money raised will go towards supporting our new Whiting-Robertsdale History Museum opening in 2025.
Tickets for the Gala are on sale now. Grab them early because the first Gala was a sell out! Individual tickets are $100 and tables are $800 and include eight seats.
Tickets can be purchased by mailing a check to PO Box 592, Whiting, IN 46394 or online.
If you or your business would like to contribute an item for the silent auction or sponsor part of the festivities, please contact Gayle Kosalko at (219) 659-8129 or puccini99@aol.com.
