The Stanley Home Museum and Education Center successfully met the fundraising goal for 2025 during this year’s Gala. Held at the Holiday Inn, the guests enjoyed wonderful appetizers and a delicious buffet dinner. The ‘Night at the Museum’ table centerpieces featured historical 1900’s items from the Stanley
Home along with candles and votives, reminding guests of what they were there to support, and set the mood beautifully for the evening.
Terry Zimmer, the auctioneer, got the bidding moving fast during the live auction, and asked the guests to throw their napkins in the air to bid, adding a lot of laughter to the event. There was friendly competition around several items, and one attendee was the winner of the amazing E-Bike generously donated by Park Supply Hardware. The silent auction items were a collection of wonderful dining, recreation, and art pieces donated by local businesses and individuals, and the bidding was just as competitive.
The Stanley Home Museum and Education Center would like to thank our table sponsors; all the guests who attended, and all who donated to the silent and live auctions, as well as the many volunteers that helped to make this event happen. We are so grateful for your continued support!
We would like to thank the Bank of Estes Park for their ongoing support; from helping us navigate the purchase of the Stanley Home to counseling us as we work to preserve the legacy of F.O. and Flora Stanley for future generations to enjoy.
