Volunteers with the Dream Cafe are hoping to keep live music thriving in their unique venue with a little help from the community.
After successfully surviving the dire impact of COVID, where live music venues were one of the hardest hit, the Dream Cafe has recently been impacted by wildfires and the temporary closure of Highway 97 resulting in the cancellation of weeks of programming and weaker attendance at other events.
The Dream Cafe collective has decided to pivot and put together an online auction called Keep the Dream Alive that began at the beginning of October, featuring everything from musicians offering to play in people91裸聊视频檚 homes and original paintings to curated wine collections and season tickets to the Dream Cafe. The month-long online auction will culminate with a live auction event at the Dream Cafe this Saturday, Nov. 4.
Tickets for the live event are $75 and include appetizers from the new Dream Chef and complimentary beverages from supporting wineries and breweries.

This means we still have that package available.91裸聊视频�
