Some of the pups from Always and Furever Midwest Animal Sanctuary will be on site to meet event-goers in hopes of finding their forever homes. Buy your tickets online and enjoy a silent auction, live music, and the knowledge that you're helping animals in need. The Always and Furever Golden Gala kicks off at 6pm Friday.

Then on Saturday spend time with family and friends on a magical walk through the woods lit only by luminaries at the Blue River Forest Experience. Meander through beautifully lit gardens and forest paths, while angelic music floats through the night air, and enjoy bonfires for storytelling, hot cocoa and s'mores.
