HOUGHTON -- Join fellow Obama supporters, volunteers, local Democrats and friends in celebrating the inauguration of President-elect Barack Obama. The College Democrats of Michigan Tech University and the Houghton County Democratic Party (HCDP) are co-sponsoring a local Presidential Inaugural Ball on Saturday, Jan. 17, at the Memorial Union Ballroom on the MTU campus. The evening of dinner, entertainment, live music and dancing is open to the public.
The evening will begin with a Social Hour from 6 p.m. - 7 p.m., followed by Buffet Dinner from 7 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. Entertainment and dancing will complete the evening from 8:30 p.m. to 11 p.m.
"Ours is a diverse party, so it seems to me our parties should be as diverse," says Brian Rendel, HCDP co-chair. "Dress as you wish. Wear a Tux, evening gown, or sweater and jeans. Wear whatever works to help you feel like celebrating. The fashion police are all busy planning for the celebrations in Washington anyway."
Tickets are $25 per person and include a delicious buffet dinner, dessert and entertainment. Tickets must be purchased by Wednesday, Jan. 14, so the caterers can plan. Buy the tickets locally at California Connection or Rhythm in Houghton, at Peterson's Fish Market on Quincy Hill or at Carmelita's restaurant in Calumet.
Tickets are also available for purchase and print-out, with a small convenience fee, through the web at http://HoughtonDems.TicketLeap.com.
A cash bar will be open to persons 21 years of age and older with I.D.
The ballroom in the Memorial Union Building is #36 on the MTU campus map.
