Retail Value: $200 - “Bee-come” a Beekeeper Experience for Two Adults. Join Chase Dittmar, of Galena’s Dry Creek Beekeeping to put on your own beekeeping suit, hood, and gloves, to experience what it is like to work with the bees. You and a friend will experience a day in the life of a beekeeper as you utilize the smoker to calm the bees, open a hive and try to find the queen, and learn all about bees and their behaviors. You will also sample Dry Creek Beekeeping’s honey to taste what the bees produce, and you will get to take home one jar of raw, local honey. This hands-on tour is guided by an experienced beekeeper, and you will learn a great deal about these small but mighty creatures. Redeemable May - August, 2025. Items can be collected after the live auction. If you are not attending the Gala, you may pick up your items at The Galena Center for the Arts.
A note from Galena Center for the Arts: Welcome to our 2nd Annual Galena Center for the Arts Fundraising Gala. Our Gala is "Embrace the Experience," which is reflected in many of our auction items. Our online and in-person auction is raising money to support our arts programming, complete our new building's renovation, and purchase new theater equipment to update the lighting system, lighting board, and new curtains to replace those salvaged from old theaters. All auction proceeds will go directly to support these needs and fund the operation of the Center. THANK YOU to all of our generous donors who have given auction items and have sponsored this event, and THANK YOU for joining our auction and bidding generously! We wish you good luck with your bids!
