Heart Ball, Princess Package, & Gelato

I returned to Billings on the 16th to attend the American Heart Association Heart Ball at the Holiday Inn Grand Ballroom. I greeted the guests at the door in their black tie attire and sang a few songs for them as they began dinner.
Along with a silent auction, their live auction is a main attraction. One of the items was a princess party package that included a signed picture of Miss Montana (imagine that) and a fun day of princess activities.
I was “Vanna” again, walking the items through the tables and encouraging the audience to bid. After dinner they had arranged for a local gelato store to serve yummy gelato for dessert. However, that plan was spoiled after a dinner guest got a little anxious for dessert and tried to help himself before the designated time. The glass cover on the refrigerated display shattered and the ice cream was ruined…ooops. It seemed much more funny afterward and I’m sure the story will be told in humor by the responsible party.
