Calamity Jane was no stranger to a good time. She’s fabled to have been many things, but one thing that’s for sure is that she was always the life of the party.

The Adams Museum & House (AM&H) is using her inspiration to host a fundraiser, January 29, at the Charlie Utter Theater in Deadwood. The fundraiser is open to the public and proceeds from the event will benefit the ongoing work of the AM&H.

The January 29 event, called Calamity’s Shindig, will feature a live auction, hors d’oeuvres, drinks and entertainment by Hank Harris, Ricky Jacobsen and Kenny Putnam. Doors open at 7:00 p.m and the festivities will go until 10:00 p.m.

Rose Speirs, Communications Director at the Adams, said that last year’s fundraiser attracted nearly 100 people and she’s hoping that this year’s event will be even larger.

The evening dress code is being classified as “Deadwood formal” attire, so it’s certainly open to interpretation. Tickets to the Calamity Shindig are $35 per person and can be purchased through Black Hills Central Reservations at 1-866-601-5103 or online at Adams Fundraiser.
