FUNDRAISER BACKGROUND:
Over 20 years ago a group of Madison Valley landowners came together to fight a common enemy - noxious weeds. In order to bolster their efforts a community owned trailer sprayer would be needed. They approached one of their neighbors, Roger Lang with the Sun Ranch, and asked if he would help fund such a project. Roger chose to host a dinner to raise the money and the Annual Noxious Weed Fundraiser or “Weeds Party” was born. This first event was held in 1999 and was so successful that they raised enough money to not only buy TWO trailer mounted sprayers, but jumpstart the foundation of the Madison Valley Ranchlands Group’s Weed Committee.
While the event has changed and grown, the common goal and purpose has not. All of the funds raised are used to support the Weed Committee’s many projects and efforts that help fight and prevent noxious weeds in the Madison Valley. On average, for every $1 raised, an additional $10-$15 are leveraged and put on the ground.
Join us EACH SUMMER for a fun filled evening with good people, good food, drink silent and live auction!
