Before each Idea House opens to the public, there is a grand Gala the day before tours begin on Friday at 4pm. Gala is for those early birds who want first pick at the goods and it is also a great event to start getting money raised for the charities and scholarships for the year.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. First come first serve, first dibs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Before the madness begins, those who attend the Gala get to go through the Idea House for the first time being completely decorated. Think of attending Gala as the premier Idea House opportunity and is worth the extra cost.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. All profits go to scholarships and charity<\/span><\/p>\n

All the proceeds and profits help supplement the funds for charities and scholarships for high school seniors who need that extra boost to get into college. It is a win, win situation where you get first dibs on unique decorations and items and it’s all going for good causes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Get to see everything brand new before the public runs through<\/span><\/p>\n

The Idea House gets pretty packed when it opens to the public, dare I say it becomes a “mad house.” However, those that attend the Gala and luncheons work with a much smaller crowd of only a couple hundred compared to couple thousand. Don’t like crowds but still want the goods? Then these are the perfect events for you to attend with a spouse or loved one.<\/p>\n

Don’t miss out on this opportunity, attend the Gala today!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
