After all 10 diamonds are chosen, Sandi with Riddles will check each diamond and announce the winner of the real diamond. (Bids must be more than $50 to qualify). The diamond has been donated by Riddles Jewelry.
Back again this year will also be the wine toss.

In 2016, there were about 100 children who needed CASAs (Court Appointed Special Advocates) in the 23rd Judicial District. The district covers Ellis, Rooks, Trego and Gove counties. The CASA volunteers are assigned to the court cases for children who have been removed from their homes for abuse or neglect. CASAs serve as the voice for these vulnerable children in court.
The Valentine’s Evening fundraiser is a fun, elegant way to treat your loved one and yourself while also supporting the important mission of CASA.
Tickets for the event are $60 each or a table of eight for $420. Tickets can be purchased at the CASA of the High Plains office, 107 W. 13th St., Hays, or Commerce Bank, 2200 Vine St., Hays.
