BUNKER HILL – Kick off your Valentine’s weekend with Smoky Hills Public Television’s annual fundraiser Valentines & Wines on Feb. 13 at the American Legion in Hays.

As in the past, Valentines and Wines will include a meal, an opportunity to taste a variety of wines, craft beers and liquor and silent and live auctions.

“Smoky Hills Public Television hosts a variety of events for children throughout the year, but Valentines & Wines is an opportunity for us to provide an entertaining evening for the adults. We greatly appreciate everyone who supports this event by making a donation or purchasing a ticket,” said Event Coordinator Tricia Flax.

Valentines & Wines is a fundraiser for Smoky Hills Public Television. All of the proceeds help SHPTV maintain its commitment to quality programming and educational services.

A variety of items have been donated for the silent and live auctions. Those include a basketball signed by the University of Kansas men’s basketball team, a football autographed by Kansas State coach Bill Snyder, a basketball from Fort Hays State, gift certificates, packages for Kansas excursions and much more.

Tickets for this event cost $40 per person or $300 for a table of eight. Members of Smoky Hills Public Television qualify for a discount, which they can receive by contacting the station. Tickets are available by calling SHPTV at (800) 337-4788 or online at www.smokyhillstv.org.
