The night kicks off with the high energy "Art for a Cause" painting troupe "Art Fusion", who will create live works, which will be raffled off during the night. Guests will also have the chance to be in a Western Cowgirl or Cowboy still photo (complete with costume and gear!), peruse beautiful silent auction items including original cels from the animated film Lord of the Rings, signed by the filmmaker Ralph Bakshi, custome hand made western belt buckles, and a Longmire poster signed by the cast.
