The Strater Hotel

699 Main Ave, Durango, CO 81301, USA

On Saturday, October 21st, 60 ticket holders will gather at 5:30 PM for cocktails and hors d'oeuvres in the Historic Strater Hotel's Pullman Ballroom for a preview of the night's events. Programming will begin at 6:00 PM. Guests will leave the Strater at 6:30 PM to rotate, in groups of 20, through three locations during the evening: the basement of the Hermosa Cafe, The Durango Winery/Subterrain, and the underground tunnel beneath El Rancho Tavern. At each location, guests will enjoy a signature cocktail, beer, or wine and hors d'oeuvre as well as a haunted history of the location from a representative of Durango's very own Horsefly History Tours and a 5-minute story from a 9-R teacher who has benefitted from a Durango Education Foundation grant. There will be a drawing for prizes at each stop. At the evening's end, guests will return for the announcement of silent auction winners, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory truffles and salted caramels, and our gratitude. Tickets for the event cost $150 each. Many thanks to our sponsors who have made this event possible: The Historic Strater Hotel, Horsefly History Tours, Naomi Marty of Wells Fargo, El Moro, 2nd Avenue Sports, Honeyville, Ska Brewing, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, El Rancho Tavern, The Hermosa Cafe, The Subterrain, The Durango Fitness Club, The General Palmer Hotel, the Boulevard Skin Bar, Animas Plastic Surgery, The Subterrain, and the Durango Winery.
