Thanks to the generosity of several sponsors, the energetic and exciting Midwest Dueling Pianos entertainers will return to Mayville State University for the Glitz & Glama Gala on Saturday, Jan. 25, 2020! The event will center around a Las Vegas-style theme, and is being held to benefit Mayville State University and its students. There will be a time of socializing from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m., followed by a buffet dinner. A live auction featuring three prize packages will start at 7:30 p.m. The excitement of the Dueling Pianos show will begin at 8 p.m.
Larry and Cathy Lande of Greeley, Colo., Terry Bachmeier of Mesa, Ariz., Steve and Linda Hilstad of Mayville, N.D., Bremer Bank, and Steele Traill County Mutual Insurance have very kindly stepped up to support the appearance of Dueling Pianos at Mayville State. Thanks to their financial contributions, the benefit of the Glitz & Glam Gala event to Mayville State University and its students will be even greater.
“We are so very grateful for our sponsors and their substantial support for Mayville State University,” said Beth Swenson, interim executive director of the MSU Foundation. “Mayville State University is blessed to have thoughtful and generous supporters who very freely give of their resources for the benefit of our university.
