Kick off the winter snow season in style at the Big Chill, a celebration
of the best of the Northwest presented by Widmer Brothers Brewing.
Join Widmer Brothers for an evening of local craft beer -- including
Brrr, the brewery’s winter seasonal -- music, art and fashion at Grand
Central Restaurant and Bowling Lounge, beginning at 9 PM.
- The
night will include music from DEELAY CEELAY, a Portland-based duo that
fuses live instrumentation with synched projected visuals blurring the
lines between music, experimental film and performance, while creating
an awesome and engaging experience for their audiences.
- Check
out the latest winter styles in a fashion show produced by Portland’s
Jillian Rabe, LLC featuring winter, street and outerwear including lines
from: Compound, U.S. Outdoor Store and Antic.
- The silent
auction is back this year; this time, benefiting Mountain Wave Search
and Rescue! Local artists have been asked to create awesome
winter-themed works of art from used snowboards, toboggans, and sleds.
Guests at the Big Chill will be asked to vote on their favorite works of
art and winning artists will receive prizes like a custom-designed
Revolution Snowboard, Mt. Hood Meadows lift tickets, or a weekend
getaway to Sunriver Resort. Attendees will also have a chance to get in
on the prizes just for voting!
- Snow-junkies can also get their pictures taken at the Big Chill photo booth while warming up with a pint of cold Brrr.
Admission
to the Big Chill ’11 is free. Custom Widmer Brothers glassware for the
event will be free with the purchase of a Brrr Seasonal Ale for $3.50,
while supplies last.
