The event has been dubbed the Funky Crested Butte Formal, which means attendee can wear anything from tuxedos to festive costumes, but the theme of the ball is black and white. The event always has a wonderful band, a cash bar with tasty cocktails, wine and beer and free appetizers.
Admission into the ball is $15 and kids 12 and under get into the ball free of charge. The Black and White Ball is from 6pm to 10pm and will go on rain or shine. Those who are in the area and want to attend will have a great time dancing in the street for a great cause.
