On Friday, July 11, 2008 at the Great Park Balloon site, the Conservancy hosted a spectacular evening under the stars.

We began with hosted cocktails in one of the original base hangers — followed by a silent auction filled with an array of stunning jewelry. Later we treated our guests to an alfresco gourmet dinner featuring sumptuous local and organic foods — all presented using recyclable products and renewable resources. After an inspiring update on the progress of the Great Park and an exciting live auction, we rocked to the music of Singer/songwriters
RANDY BACHMAN & BURTON CUMMINGS
of Canadian Hall of Fame Band The Guess Who with special performances of hit songs of Bachman Turner Overdrive. Enjoy such classic hit songs as "These Eyes," "American Woman," "No Sugar Tonight," "Takin' Care of Business," and "Share the Land."


With strong community support, the Conservancy has begun its work to ensure the Great Park will grow to its full potential. The Conservancy Garden, which is designed as a preview to the Great Park Botanical Garden, is currently being developed. We are scheduled to break ground by next summer. Interactive and cutting edge, this three-acre parcel will focus on gorgeous horticulture, children’s education and sustainability. Proceeds from the Jewel of Orange County will help fund exciting Great Park attractions like the Conservancy Garden. Your support ensures the momentum the Park has enjoyed continues. The process of growing an incredible legacy for the future has begun. With your help, it will grow strong and beautiful.
