Join the Montana Natural History Center for a fun and nature-filled evening at our Fall Banquet and Auction on October 25th, at the University Center Ballroom!

Gather with us for an evening of food, drinks, and fun to support MNHC’s science and nature educational programming for our community, and support MNHC’s mission of connecting people of all ages to nature.

We will begin the evening with a large silent auction, filled with great items donated by local businesses, artists, and friends of MNHC. Grab a drink and mingle as you peruse this diverse array and engage in some fun and fierce bidding all while raising funds for a good cause! Once we have all had a chance to bid (more than once!) we will shift to our main event: the live auction! MNHC’s live auction is full of amazing experiences, adventures, and gear—you won’t want to miss it! See our live auction line-up, here.

Our emcee for the night is Mark Heyka, a local familiar favorite who will guide us through the evening. And auctioneer, Reed Tobol with Rivers West Auction, will keep the bidding hopping!

And because this is MNHC, we can’t hold an event without offering opportunities for some nature-learning, trivia, and a few surprises.

This year we’re making it even easier for patrons to participate in bidding: You’ll have the opportunity to bid & buy early on featured online items, as well as participate in-person at our exciting silent and live auctions on the night of the event!

Start browsing the catalog of live auction item now. You can even start your bidding (or buy it now!) on many of our silent auction items. Bring your best bids and a little friendly competition to this rewarding and exciting event!
