BOOGALOO IN REALITY

Saturday April 14, 2012

Watch. What. Happens.

 Put down the remote and back away from your television. The best party of the year is happening on Saturday April 14, 2012 at Chateau du Calcasieu and we promise more surprises than a Kardashian wedding!

 

  This year, Boogaloo is celebrating Reality TV, that pop-culture guilty pleasure that we all occasionally indulge in. This is your opportunity to party like you’re at the Jersey Shore without any of the guilt and plenty of the indulgence. With an incredible American Idol-worthy live performance,  delectable foods from our own SWLA  Top Chef’s,  and all of the fun hijinx and fabulosity that you’ve come to expect of Boogaloo, you do not want to be The Biggest Loser and miss out on this amazing party!

 

  Join the Imperial Calcasieu Museum in its’ 49th year of providing model education initiatives for the youngest in our community such as last years’ incredible George Rodrigue “Saga of the Acadians\Blue Dog,” exhibit that included an amazing sidewalk chalk-art session with the children (lead by Rodrigue himself!)

 

  Your sponsorship also allows us to continue adding value to our area and beyond through our superb outreach programs, including “Museum To Go,” which brings the exhibits from the ICM into schools in the rural communities of Calcasieu Parish.

 

With your support, the ICM will continue to preserve our areas treasures, from the iconic Sallier Oak to our very mission; to support visual arts and artists, maintain a strong arts education program, and to preserve the unique culture and history of our region.

 

YOU make this possible by sponsoring the ICM through Boogaloo, the Museum’s only annual fundraiser. Your sponsorship will maintain the quality of our exhibits and activities, which compares to that of museums with four times our budget. 40% of our operating budget comes from Boogaloo sponsorship, and we need your support. Please call the Museum to find out how you can become a Boogaloo Sponsor!

For one night, forget about your Hell’s Kitchen and become a Real Star for your community. Enjoy a fantastic night of revelry among Celebrity Apprentices, Real Housewives, and Swamp People with the best food, entertainment and camaraderie that only Boogaloo can provide. 

 

STAY TUNED FOR MORE DETAILS AND TICKET INFORMATION!


 

May we suggest: A Museum Membership

Please consider becoming a Imperial Calcasieu Museum member. It's a fun, educational and worthwhile investment in our community. Better yet, consider giving a museum membership as a gift to someone special! 

Your support of the ICM through a membership allows us to:

  • Provide admission-free guided tours to more than 3,900 school children annually in grades 4-6. More than 50 percent of these children are from low-income schools who might not have the opportunity otherwise to visit a museum and receive the educational benefit without your support.
  • Produce 7,000 curriculum guides and workbooks for educators and students. These educational materials enable teachers to prepare students before they visit our exhibits, and the student books and activities ensure that the learning opportunity follows from the museum back to our schools.
  • Self-produce first class exhibits that would rival those of any museum in the state. Funds for printing, exhibit preparation, research and installation supplies are all spent with local providers, keeping dollars in our community and supporting our local economy.
  • Operate more than 300 days a year, with 161 days of special event programming, such as exhibits, tours, the annual children's Summer Arts Camp, the annual Summer Film & Lecture Series and receptions for out-of-town guests, travel writers and tour groups.
