The
Museum of the Rockies 50th Anniversary Gala
Party Through the Decades
Bozeman,
MT |
| We were
once again honored to be the event designers for the
Museum of the Rockies Winter Event, this year
celebrating with a 50th Anniversary
Extravaganza. The question on everyone's mind
this year was "How to Party through the
Decades". We started where we always start
with the Museum events, by building a great team of
volunteers, Museum staff, and this year, audio/visual
and lighting specialist. With the team in place,
we dove into the process of designing five large rooms
in the Museum itself, each themed around a
specific decade (50's through the 90's). Our
Fifties Room was built
around Vegas complete with a poker room, a
custom built "Vegas" sign, cigarette girls and our
very own showgirl. A large screen played movies
and other iconic images from the decade as guests
enjoyed signature drinks from our martini bar. From
the Fifties, the guests were able to move into the
Sixties, complete with go go dancers and a psychedelic
light
show. The main hall was transformed from dino to
disco to celebrate the Seventies. Full scale
disco lighting, a sound system to rival any club,
dance floor, a large video screen playing period
movies (You guessed it, Saturday Night Fever among
others) and plenty of sparkle celebrated what
made the Seventies so memorable. Our Eighties room featured the
lava lounge for guests
that wanted a quiet place to get away and enjoy a
tequila
sunrise, complete with blinking LED ice
cubes. Our final
decade, the Nineties was built around a custom coffee
bar serving a wide array of favorites. All of
the rooms featured period furniture that was trucked
in specifically for the event and we
finished the look with custom linens and specialty
centerpieces featuring self contained lighting. Exquisite
catering and full bars, each serving a signature drink
specific to the decade theme of the room, completed
each room. Following the live auction with guest
auctioneer, Senator Conrad Burns, the disco kicked
into full gear and guests busted out their best moves
under a spectacular light show! This year's gala
was truly an over-the-top event and we could not have
done it without the wonderful team of volunteers,
Museum staff, Katalin Green Design Staff, Filmlites,
Poindexter's, and the numerous others that supplied us
with services and assistance. We would like to
thank everyone involved for their contribution in
making this such a wonderful evening. We would
also like to congratulate the Museum of the Rockies on
fifty wonderful years and for allowing us to be part
of the celebration! |
