Event Date:
September 22, 2022 - 4:00pm The Friends of the Nevada State Museum will open a one night only speakeasy as their annual fundraiser on Thursday, September 22. The speakeasy opens at 4 pm in the Nevada Room at the Governor's Mansion.
The theme is the 1920's and will feature suffragists, flappers, and gangsters.
The venue will offer the feel of a speakeasy with a no-host bar, buffet dinner, and a show featuring local Chautauqua performer, Kim Harris as Lillian Finnigan, the suffragist. But wait, there will be more! In addition attendees will have the opportunity to chat with other characters from Nevada’s past.
Tickets for the event and buffet dinner are $35 with the doors opening at 4 pm for the dinner, raffle and no-host bar. Tickets are now on sale at the Nevada State Museum Gift Shop, cash or checks only. The event will also include a silent raffle offering a wide variety of services, discounts and merchandise.
Included with this gala, a rare and unique Carson City minted coin is a raffle prize for the FNSM fundraiser. Northern Nevada Coin has donated a rare uncirculated Carson City minted coin valued at over $400 for this year’s fundraiser. It is an uncirculated 1884 silver dollar with the CC mint mark that was pressed at the historic Carson City Mint and home of the current Nevada State Museum.
The coin is on display at the State Museum where $5 raffle tickets can be purchased. Drawing for the coin will be on September 22, 2022 at the FNSM fundraising event. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE PRESENT TO WIN.
