Limitless Events Inc., a group of six women interested in raising money and hosting events for people in the area to enjoy are at it again with planning a New Year’s Eve Bash in Arcola at Prairie Place.
After a successful event last year in Arcola they are again hosting the New Year’s event this year and the theme is 007.
“It’s a black tie kind of night, you dress for the theme, so James Bond, 007,” Jennifer Deimuth, one of the organizers, said.
They have not only a full night of entertainment planned, but have dinner and a midnight luncheon prepared as well, with champagne served for midnight.
“We have tons of entertainment and raffle prizes throughout the night,” Deimuth explained saying the Danceland DJ Company based out of Regina will provide music later in the evening, while comedian, Laurie Ferguson Ford, will be doing a stand-up comedic act after supper.
The organizers also found a talented local, Andrew Williams, who they came across playing in the area one night. He will provide live music during the meal.
“We also have Elite Bartending from Saskatoon, originally they had said they couldn’t make it, but have since had the night open up so are a last minute addition.” Deimuth said. “They’ll be good. They’re flair bartenders, so they’re the ones that juggle bottles, entertaining as they pour a drink.”
Keeping with the 007 theme there will also be a $30, register at the event, speed poker tournament between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. Two tables of eight will be open and dealers have been hired to help the activity run smoothly.
Raffles will also be happening throughout the evening with two large prizes of a three-day-trip to Las Vegas and a Pick-a-Trip to one of 12 locations available.
The Mini-Mystery Box grab is another fun raffle, which the organizers are excited about.
“It’s $5 a box, and you basically buy a chance to win a prize, some of the boxes have stuff and other ones don’t,” Deimuth explained. “The grand prize in the Mini-Mystery Box Grab is worth $950.”
Businesses and community members have been helpful and many have been buying tables or tickets to use as Christmas gifts for employees or for hosting a late office Christmas party.
“A lot of companies do a lot of Christmas shopping for employees at this time, so tickets to a New Year’s Eve party is something they can give,” Deimuth said.
“It’s $60 per ticket or $440 for a table of eight and tickets are available at The Pearl in Carlyle, and Chapman’s and the Chaparral in Arcola, or through contacting Tara Cure or Tammy Workman.
Though focused on providing a fun outing for people, Limitless Events Inc. is also dedicated to fundraising for non-profit groups in the area. On Jan. 6, they will be holding a fundraising meeting, and ask for any groups interested in applying to mail an application stating their organizations’ name, what they will be doing with the money, and how much they are looking for.
“We try to disperse money to a few different groups, so not just one organization is benefitting in the community,” Deimuth said.
Applications can be sent to Tammy Workman at Box 157, Arcola, SK, S0C 0G0.
