Attire:

Get kitschy with it! Fifties diner chic and/or dinosaur-themed attire is encouraged! American Graffiti meets Jurassic Park if you will.

Not your typical gala, this evening will be a celebration of the Stegosaurus state fossil license plate with a party styled to evoke a classic American road trip down the Dinosaur Freeway! This year's Rock Out For the Ridge theme is "Dinos, Diners & Drive-Ins" with as many fun touches as we can pack in from diner food and custom cocktails to jukebox tunes, cool cars, nods to the movies, and of course awesome paleo artwork!

Silent and Live Auctions will give guests plenty of opportunities to support the fossil protection and education missions at Dinosaur Ridge and walk away with fun items from the night. We will also be introducing our new Dino Ridge mascot crew-- be the first to meet the creatures!
