A $10 door charge will include passed appetizers and entertainment.

Heralded photographers from the Lake Tahoe region and beyond will submit their best framed photographs in three inspirational categories: Winter, Human Power or Famous Mountain Landscapes / Eagles. These categories will represent the High Fives Foundation, Biking for a Better World and the Shane McConkey Foundation (respectively).

Attendees at 3000 Words will have a chance to not only vote on the best in show in each category but also to walk away with a timeless piece of art via the silent auction portion of the evening.

Beginning at 10pm the classy affair will then ease into a dance party with beats supplied by the Silver Boombox Thief.
