A Return to Remember

Saturday, September 23, 2023

6:00 pm (doors open at 5:00)

When the doors open, enjoy champagne while you peruse the silent auction, replete with outdoor getaways, artisan works, and experiences only PPLT can provide. Then grab wine, a specialty cocktail, or a local craft beer on your way to the ballroom for a delightful experience to celebrate the lands you love with great friends!

The action on-stage starts with a PPLT highlight reel while you enjoy a dinner catered by Chili O’Briens. New this year is the Sky View! Enjoy charcuterie, a private cash bar, and a discounted ticket price with a view from the second story overlooking the ballroom.

Harvest Moon will kick off with keynote Casey Anderson, an Emmy-nominated filmmaker, adventurer, and explorer originally from East Helena. The evening will culminate in the live auction with an enticing collection of top-notch auction items and a giving moment. End the night on the dance floor with Savvy— the ultimate party band, delivering polished performances of all the pop and rock hits from the 80s, 90s, and today.

Thanks to our incredible local businesses and generous sponsors, every dollar in proceeds directly supports PPLT’s mission to connect land people through community conservation, land conservation, and trails.

Casey Anderson, Emmy-nominated filmmaker, adventurer, and explorer, has spent the last three decades capturing nature and wildlife through the camera lens. Born and raised in East Helena, Anderson spent his childhood exploring the vast wild that was his backyard and today, is The Grove, Prickly Pear Land Trust’s newest public park.

By age eighteen, Casey guided wildlife filmmakers into remote locations to track and film the most elusive wild animals. At twenty-six, he adopted an orphaned baby grizzly bear, which led him to co-found the Montana Grizzly Encounter, a sanctuary for grizzly bears saved from inhumane situations. Casey has been seen on Nat Geo WILD, BBC, PBS, Travel Channel, and Discovery Channel and has regularly contributed to Conan & Oprah.

Now, Casey has made it his mission to bring his love of the wild to the hearts of the world, instilling a drive to conserve untamed and untouched places. He makes his home in Paradise Valley in the greater Yellowstone ecosystem with his wife and children.

Voted Bozeman’s best cover band the last two years in a row, Savvy delivers polished performances of all the pop and rock hits from the 80s, 90s, and today. All songs are highly recognizable and dance-able from artists like The Killers, Katy Perry, Guns N’ Roses, and Blink-182. Appealing to a diverse audience, Savvy will get everyone singing and dancing— delivering memorable experiences and connecting people through music.
