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

All proceeds to benefit the Auction

LACONIA —For the third year, the Greater Lakes Region Children’s Auction will host a Christmas in July event on the MS Mount Washington on Thursday, July 10, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. to raise funds for local children and families in need.

Tickets cost $66 and include a performance by the PowerChords on the boardwalk, a three-hour cruise, buffet dinner, dancing and a selection of songs from the Powerhouse Collaborative Theatre’s upcoming August performance of “Elf,” the musical. 

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. 

For the second year in a row, for every ticket purchased before June 28, a free ticket will be given to the Greater Lakes Region Children’s Auction so it can host a free daytime cruise on Aug. 6 for children who would not otherwise be able to get out on the water. 

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.

Juggernaut Fitness is the Presenting Sponsor. Owner Anna Terry said, “We are pleased to be able to support the Children’s Auction as a sponsor, and we do so because we believe in the organization’s mission and trust its work to serve children and families in need in the lakes Region.”

Santa Sponsors are The Xavier Group, Ideal Block, Franklin Savings Bank, and Amoskeag Beverages.
