Description:
This gala event on April 19th will bring together Missoula's creative community to celebrate all things mini.
The evening will start out with a mini cocktail hour sponsored by Montgomery Distillery.
We will then feature a Mini Chef Challenge in which Missoula's finest restaurants and bakeries compete to create the most tasty, creative, and well-presented mini dish of the night. Guests will dine on these delicious mini creations while a panel of celebrity judges decide who gets the mini awards.
A mini dessert auction is followed by a mini art auction in which a juried exhibition of miniature pieces by talented artists is both silent and live auctioned.
Finally, we conclude our evening with local music, dancing with Cash For Junkers!
You will also have a chance to see a short presentation on the ZACC and learn about all we are doing for the community.
