WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

Wear whatever will make it possible for you to feel good and have a good time. Many people will take this opportunity to dress up as this is a chance to wear grownup clothes without getting small sticky handprints all over you. Most folks will opt for a fancy dress or a suit but a costume that will amuse and entertain is welcome and encouraged if that’s your thing. 

WHAT IS ON THE MENU? 

Our appetizers will be prepared by a community member as is traditional, but this year we have more than veggie, meat and cheese platters in store for you.

Dinner will be served seated in the ballroom. Our meal will be provided by NW Catering. The final menu will be determined closer to the event when the Spring Menu is available. There will be a choice of chicken, pork, vegetarian and gluten free and a Vegan option. 

Beer and Wine will be available at your table so no need to get up and wait in line at the bar. For Dessert we will have our traditional dessert auction....or will we.

WHERE IS THE EVENT TAKING PLACE?

This year’s auction is at The Walters. The Glenn & Viola Walters Cultural Arts Center is a multi-use arts and performance venue in downtown Hillsboro. The Walters is run by the Hillsboro Parks & Recreations Department. It includes gallery space, classroom space, and a 200-seat performance hall.  Opened in 2004, it is housed in a red-colored stone building completed in 1949 as a Lutheran church.

The center is named in honor of a local couple who donated $1 million towards the project which included purchasing the property and US$2.4 million worth of renovations.

WHERE DO I PARK?

The Walters is located within the downtown one way grid on E. Main and NE. 5th. It has a parking lot that is accessible from only 2 directions. You can approach south bound on 5th from Lincoln or West bound on Main if you turn right on 6th and then left in the middle of the block into the alley (NE Dewdrop Ln). We will have information about additional parking closer to the event. If you are taking an Uber/Lyft they should drop off and pick up in the parking lot.
