The Trout Creek Redneck Ball

TCCIA's most successful fundraiser

Hosted by Lakeside Resort each March, The Trout Creek Redneck Ball enjoys increased success each year, with an estimated net of $7,000 raised in 2017 through ticket sales, raffles, contests, live auction and on-site donations.  

The Sanders County Ledger provided a great front-page write-up of the event. 

TCCIA super-volunteer Don Manning emcees the event, and regulars on the stage include auctioneer Kevin Hill, musician/comedy duo Deb & Dave Oliver, local canine celebrity Milo and the outrageous Tammy WhyNots. This year's Ball welcomed Kathryn Hawkins and her pooch as they demonstrated Dog Dancing, an activity popular with Sanders County Dog Training Club members. 

Rallying the troops

Among the obvious benefits of raising funds for TCCIA, the Ball has become a social kickstarter for the community at the end of a long winter. 

It's also an opportunity to get everyone excited about enjoying Trout Creek's public spaces and TCCIA-sponsored events. 

The popularity of TCCIA merchandise is a strong indicator of how well the community is taking pride in participating in TCCIA efforts. Expect to see your neighbors wearing their Trout Creek CIA ball caps around town, while enjoying cold ones in their TC CIA beer coozies!
