Redmond residents and business leaders bid on a variety of items as local celebrity John Curley entertained the crowd as master of ceremonies for the Greater Redmond Chamber of Commerce’s 65th Annual Gala and Auction last Friday night at the Willows Lodge in Woodinville.
The gala featured a silent auction with more than 200 items such as spa getaways, artwork, wine tastings, and gift baskets. Curley, the host of the former show, “Evening Magazine” and current Sammamish City Councilmember, kept the excitement rolling with activities like the balloon pop, heads or tails and the Best of Live. He also auctioned off the top live auction items, which included a vacation to Cabo San Lucas, a stay in a private home in Manzanillo Mexico, an Alaska fishing excursion, three nights at Sunbanks Resort and a week in Hawaii.
