The event usually delivers absurdity of vaudevillian proportion as folks in town come out to show their support for the non-profit Counseling Institute by making public spectacles of themselves. And, of course, there will be a panel on hand to bang the gong if the entertainment gets too stinky. Just too make sure there is some socially redeeming entertainment value to the evening, the band Jake in Space will offer dancing at 9 p.m., following the folly. Earlier in the evening, there will be a social hour and silent auction beginning at 6 p.m. and a sit-down dinner at 7 p.m. Aside from this annual bit of frivolity, The Counseling Institute is an organization devoted to the serious work of helping people through emotional trauma experienced in their daily lives. All of the proceeds from this.fundraiser will go to The Institute's continued operation, which includes providing service on an ability-to-pay basis. This is their largest fundraiser. The event will be at The Yarrow Hotel, May 29, from 6 p.m. into the evening. Admission is $30, and tickets and information are available at 649-2426. Writing Betsy Marston is better known as the editor of High Country News, which offers an environmental perspective on the West. She'll be in town in June; see page C4 for information. ' Cinema A Midnight Clear was filmed here in Park City but one of our local reviewers doesn't see that as enough reason to see this flick. For a review by Rick Brough, see page C3. Music It may be the slow season, but there's still a full schedule of fun in Park City. For information on night life, please see When and Where on page C2. |
