Thursday, Dec. 5, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

Portsmouth Harbor Events Center

Apres Ski holiday party & the Snowball Sweeps

If there's something New Hampshire does well, it's celebrate winter! Celebrate the season with us on Thursday, Dec. 5 at the beautiful Portsmouth Harbor Events & Conference Center. We're calling it Après Ski: Winter Warmup, in honor of the time that comes after a hard ski or snowboarding session, where you head to the ski lodge and unwind with friends and toast to good health and good times.

The evening's presenting sponsor is Exeter Hospital. Sponsors include Berkeley Building Co., Cross Insurance and Centrus Digital.

Purchase the $100 ticket and be automatically entered to win the $10K Snowball Sweeps. That's right--we've got cash prizes this year. While you don't have to be present to win the $10K top prize (or the $500 second prize, or the ten prizes of $150), you will want to be. Portsmouth Harbor Events will be pulling out all the stops to show us how their Portsmouth gem can shine. Delight in seasonal bites, and bring some spending money for the cash bar.

We hope to see one and all in their festive gear on Dec. 5. (No ski hats necessary!)

*Note: If fewer than 120 tickets are sold, the cash prizes won't be awarded, and ticket holder will be reimbursed for the price above the price to attend the party (either $70 will be reimbursed for members and $60 for nonmembers.)
