Gorgeous Table Settings Set the Mood for ‘The Library Affair’ on April 9

Tickets are still available for this year’s most highly anticipated gala event, The Library Affair, scheduled for Sunday, April 9, from 6:00 to 8:30pm at the Pagosa Lakes Property Owners Association Clubhouse at 230 Port Ave.

Attendees will enjoy delicious food, a cash bar, and beautiful music, and will also will have the opportunity to bid on seventeen of the most creatively decorated dining tables imaginable. These tables each have a ‘book theme’ in honor of our Ruby Sisson Memorial Library. The winning bid allows the bidder to take home the entire contents of the table, from dishes, silverware, and glassware to the marvelous centerpieces created especially for the event.

Books just naturally offer our thoughts the opportunity to wander to different lands, different life situations, different times.

Fortunately, you don’t have to wait until the big event to vote on your favorite book-themed table decoration. For only $2 per vote, you can get a sneak peek at the tables and offer your vote for your favorite designs. The designers of the table that acquires the most online votes wins the prestigious ‘Pagosa Pulitzer Prize’. The winners will be announced at The Library Affair.

You can view all the tables at this website.

Voting is ongoing… and the community has thus far donated over $18,000.

As of yesterday morning, the tables with the most votes were:

‘Death on the Nile’
‘Where the Crawdads Sing’
‘Swan Lake’

The tables will be on full display at event. You will have the opportunity to examine each one and put in a bid for the entire contents of your favorite tables. You will no doubt be dazzled by the creative beauty and whimsy of these wonderful creations.

The event is being underwritten by generous sponsors so that almost all the proceeds from the event will go towards the library expansion fund. Tickets for the event are $50 each. You may vote, buy tickets, make donations, and learn more about the upcoming library expansion at this website.

Tickets also are available at the library (cash or check only).

Come and enjoy a wonderful evening in support of one of Pagosa Springs’ greatest treasures, The Ruby Sisson Memorial Library.

You might go home with treasures of your own, if you are the highest bidder on one of the magnificent tables.

We hope to see you there.
