You’re invited to an evening of dining, dancing, and gaming at the Calvert Marine Museum’s Annual Bugeye Ball on Saturday, May 16 at 7:00 p.m. Welcome to the wonderful era of mystery and intrigue with great food, live entertainment, elegant décor, and many other surprises featuring Ken Upton of Ken’s Creative Kitchen. Tickets to the event are $150 each and proceeds will support the final phase in the renovation of the Maritime Gallery. This Gallery focuses on the subject of water and recreation in Southern Maryland from the post-World War II era up until the present day.
Whether you are able to attend or not, support the museum with the purchase of a raffle ticket for two chances to win either a trip for two to Las Vegas or a variety of exclusive, elegant jewelry. The Casino Royale is a once in a lifetime luxurious trip that has winners staying five days and four nights at the first class, Wynn Hotel. Live on the edge and experience the “Ultimate Driving Experience.” Have your choice of exotic cars to drive 10 laps with a professional racing instructor on the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. See the shows, shop the shops, relax in the spa and enjoy.
The Diamonds are Forever Signature Jewelry package will have the lucky winner with an elegant hand chosen variety of exquisite and unique jewelry from Dickinson Jewelers. Raffle tickets are $100 each or 2 for $150, with only 500 tickets sold. Two winners will be drawn at the Bugeye Ball, the first will have the prize of their choice, and the winners do not need to be present to win! Tickets may be purchased at www.bit.ly//BugeyeBall2015. Winner will be responsible for their own travel arrangements, not to exceed $2,500.
The Calvert Marine Museum is a public, non-profit, educational, and community museum, established in 1970 by local residents. Visitors can explore and learn how our prehistoric past, natural environments, and maritime heritage come together to tell a unique story of the Chesapeake Bay. Raising money through membership, grants, donations, and special events has allowed the museum to grow into an exceptional facility, providing history, education, and culture to all of Southern Maryland.
Business and personal sponsorships ranging from $250 - $10,000 are also available. Please visit www.calvertmarinemuseum.com or call 410-326-2042 x16 for more information and to purchase tickets.
