BAKER CITY — The Baker Heritage Museum is bringing back its annual “A Night at Old Auburn” fundraiser on Saturday, Feb. 26.

This year’s version is at the Baker Elks Lodge, 1896 Second St.

Dinner begins at 6 p.m., followed by gambling games and bingo at 7 p.m.

Tickets for dinner are $40. The meal is a choice of tri-tip or chicken, plus sides and dessert. Entrance tickets (no dinner) are $15.

Tickets are available until Feb. 18 at the Baker Heritage Museum, 2480 Grove St., Monday through Friday, 10 a.m.-3 p.m. These can also be purchased online at www.friendsofbakerheritagemuseum.com.

Those who wish to support the museum but not attend the event can purchase dinner tickets and pick up the meal that night.

During the evening, attendees purchase “funny money” to use in the games. At the end of the night, the funny money is exchanged for prize tickets and a chance to win items donated from local businesses.

“A Night at Old Auburn” is organized by the Friends of the Baker Heritage Museum and supports operations and exhibits.

“Everything we get goes back to the museum — whatever they need,” said Tammy Henden, vice president of the Friends.

The museum is scheduled to open in mid-March. New this year will be the Oregon Trail Experience developed by the National Historic Oregon Trail Interpretive Center. This will be the temporary presence for NHOTIC while the center is closed for a multi-year renovation project to increase energy efficiency.
