The dinner is sold out for the annual Stockmen's Dinner and Auction this week but there's still plenty of ways for you to take part and support the foundation that's been around for more than 40 years.
The event includes a delicious prime rib dinner courtesy of Cargill Meat Solutions but Scott Grattidge, executive director with the Stockmen’s Memorial Foundation says they have extra meat on hand that they're auctioning off.
"If you're not able to go, they're about 19 or 20 lbs each but if you're coming, I think we've got about a pound of meat each for every person that's coming. So come hungry."
There are around 80 items available in the online auction says Grattidge, along with 10 additional items that can be viewed online but require proxy bidding.
"Items from clothes, jewelry, services, art, hotel stays. Everything from the Super 8 here in town to the Crossing at Ghost River, to out in Banff with the Banff Lodging Company. Some of the unique items are, we have an original painting from Mac MacKenzie, who was the maker of the Men of Vision statue. The late Melba Copithorne donated that."

It's the biggest event of the year for the Stockmen's and Grattidge is hoping to raise at least $30,000.
"The money goes to the Stockmen's so we can keep providing our programs and services. We're based out of the RancheHouse there where we run a library, a gallery, a museum and a provincial archives of the cancelled brand files. It keeps the lights on and keeps us going for another year."
The auction kicked off earlier this week, but bidding is open until 7 p.m. Saturday. You can bid HERE.
