Proceeds help beautify downtown Seaside, help out kids SEASIDE — The Seaside Downtown Development Association and Seaside Kids, Inc., team up again this year in presenting the Hot Rod Classic Charity Golf Tournament and Auc- tion Dinner on Wednesday Sept.2. Golf teams will check in at Gearhart Golf Links at 11a.m. for a scramble with a shotgun start at 12:30 p.m. Golfers and diners will meet up at the Seaside Con- vention Center at 5:30 p.m. for an evening of fun with two silent auction flights during appetizers as well as a live auction during the Italian dinner. Participating in the dinner and auctions is priced at $35. Golfers fees, which include dinner and auctions, are set at $135. Every golfer attend- ing dinner has a chance to win a stay at Chinook Winds Casino Resort, an enterprise of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians. “With the involvement of Seaside Kids, Inc., we are focusing on auction items that provide experienc- es that can be shared with kids or grandkids,” said Tita Montero, SDDA executive director. “Auction items include lighting the Seaside Christ- mas tree with Santa after the lucky child’s (or child- at-heart) family and friends ride the Seaside Streetcar in the parade; all the candy you-can-eat in 30 minutes for four people in Bruce’s Candy Kitchen; Blazers and Mariners tickets, ride-alongs with the Seaside Police and Fire chiefs; fishing, golfing and vacation trips; a hot air balloon ride and a cornuco- pia of gift certificates.” In addition there is a chance to win a Titleist 915D3 10.5 golf driver. Raffle tickets are $20; a maximum of 250 tickets will be sold. Raffle tickets can be purchased and reservations for dinner or for golf teams can be made by emailing di- rector@seasidedowntown. com or calling SDDA at 503-717-1914.
