Greater Lakes Region Children’s Auction Hosts Christmas in July on The Mount Washington

All proceeds to benefit the Auction

LACONIA —For the second year, the Greater Lakes Region Children’s Auction will host a Christmas in July event on The Mount Washington on Thursday, July 11 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. to raise funds for local children and families in need. 

Tickets cost $66 and include a three-hour cruise, buffet dinner, dancing and entertainment by DJ Nazzy, along with The PowerChords singing on the boardwalk. The event offers a cash bar and a complimentary wine tasting by Hermit Woods Winery, live broadcasting from the Mount by Lakes 101.5 FM and 104.9 FM The Hawk. Santa and the Grinch will also be aboard the sunset cruise, and a silent auction and 50/50 raffle will be held. 

As a new added benefit this year, for every ticket purchased before June 1, a free ticket will be presented to a child from the Boys and Girls Club for a day-time cruise in August coordinated by the Children’s Auction.

For an additional $10 per car, passengers can secure a pre-purchased parking spot, and for another $10, select a seat on the Mount and board early.

All proceeds from Christmas in July benefit the Greater Lakes Region Children’s Auction.
