ARLEE — The Arlee Community Development Corporation will host an open house on Saturday, April 15, from noon to 3 p.m. with a new gallery display of work by local artists curated by the Killdeer Artisans Guild. The open house is being held in conjunction with the Buttercup Run, an annual event with a range of walks and runs to raise money for Arlee schools.
“The Buttercup Run is a great event for everyone, whether you’re a competitive runner or if you just want a fun walk with your family,” CDC Executive Director Marie Hirsch said. “We are excited to partner with the Friends of Arlee Schools in support of their mission to support excellence in education of Arlee’s children by providing funds for innovative programs and projects in the schools that could not otherwise be funded.”
The open house will include a fund-raising raffle with all proceeds supporting Arlee schools. The raffle will feature a special item celebrating the Buttercup Run’s history. “Every year the Run has a different t- shirt designed by a local artist. From now until race day, we are selling raffle tickets on the beautiful quilt made from the run t-shirt designs throughout the years,” said Hirsch. Other raffle prizes include gift baskets and gift certificates from local merchants.
Everyone is welcome to enjoy the art display, snacks, beverages, a chance to win the Buttercup Run quilt and other prizes. Raffle tickets are $2 each or three for $5 and are available at the Arlee CDC office at 92555 US Hwy. 93. Tickets can also be purchased and participants can register for the run’s events online at: buttercuprun.org/register
