St. Patrick's Day Party

It's almost time for the Wearin' O the Green! The annual
Bishop Baraga Home and School Association St. Patrick's
Day Party is on Saturday, March 15. Doors at the Knights
of Columbus Hall open at 7:00.

New This Year!
Reduced ticket price!
Tickets are only $10. You buy them at the door or in
advance at the school, parish office, Modern Pharmacy and
Dave's Place. Tickets this year do not include a cash raffle.

Class project auction!
Every year, classroom teachers work diligently to help their students create a class project for
the party. For the past few years, these projects have been raffled. This year, they will be part
of a silent auction. Please remember to represent our school in a positive light during this
auction. Parents and grandparents are asked to refrain from kicking, tripping, and biting other
parents as you outbid each other. Gentle shoving may be acceptable.

Entertainment!
This year's party features the always entertaining D.J. Dan Frazier. In addition to his usual
great music and general cajoling, the evening will include various pub games to get you in the
spirit. And yes, there WILL be fabulous prizes!

Returning Favorites!
Food!
Hearty appetizers will keep you coming back to the buffet table.

Raffles!
Select items will be available for a prize raffle and the world's most obnoxious 50/50 raffle
sellers will be back as well.

Silent Auction!
Baraga families and friends have donated some wonderful items for auction. Items that have
traditionally been in a live item will be in the silent auction this year too. Get ready to duke it
out for great items like a day in Mackinaw City or reserved seats at the Spring Program.

St. Bridgid's Bakery!
Cheboygan's best bakers will contribute to our annual bake sale. What's better than a
pumpkin roll for those late night post-party munchies?

Something For Everyone!
Thanks to everyone's generosity (and creativity), we have a wonderful selection of items to
choose from this year. We will be featuring almost 20 items for the auction as well as almost
20 raffle prizes. Here is a sampling of some of the “must have” items we will be tempting you
with:
