This Year’s Theme
Hosted by Rebecca Ryland & Mark Runkle, our 2022 Food for Thought Fundraiser at Elkhorn View Lodge was a blast! Our theme…the super-sexy topic of “Arts, Science & Imagination.”
- What’s it like to see the world as an artist or scientist?
- Where can the imagination take us?
After happy hour w/ mingling and live music by Ken Holmes & Friends, an inspiring opening performance by Tim Holmes, Brian Massman, and Ken Nelson, and dinner beside the Elkhorns, table talk leaders from a variety of disciplines within the arts and sciences facilitated intimate conversations about imagination and invited guests into their creative processes.
