Gala Event at the City Museum • 6:30-11:00 p.m.

Enjoy dinner and entertainment at the famous City Museum. Housed in the 600,000 square-foot former International Shoe Company, the museum is an eclectic mixture of children's playground, funhouse, surrealistic pavilion, and architectural marvel made out of unique, found objects. The brainchild of internationally acclaimed artist Bob Cassilly, a classically trained sculptor and serial entrepreneur, the museum opened for visitors in 1997 to the riotous approval of young and old alike. During the event, we'll be dancing to the music of the Ralph Butler Band on the lower level, and St. Louis' own Anita Rosamond will be providing the entertainment upstairs. As we end our conference in St. Louis and prepare to take the knowledge and experience back to our own campuses, this is your chance to say farewell to your colleagues and friends.
