Cowboy boots and stiletto high heels graced the floor of The Bing Crosby Theater Tuesday night. Fling At The Bing was a fund raising event for “Nothing Like A Redneck Christmas”, a film to be shot in Spokane late this winter.

Singer songwriter Chris Lucas entertained guests as they dined on fresh hot New York pizza. Dry Fly Distilling provided gin and vodka and Townsend Cellars poured award winning wine throughout the evening. As silent auction lists lengthened, Milonga opened on stage with hot salsa music sending the boots and heels directly to the dance floor. The smell of fresh roasted Tom Sawyer coffee filled the lobby as winners of the raffle were announced. The gala evening was a success as filmmakers and newcomers came together with the common interest of the film.

“Nothing Like A Redneck Christmas” is a comedy about a family that loves one another but can’t stand each other. Serena Belsby, the writer of the feature film, is a Spokane native. Her family ranch outside of Cheney will be one of the locations used to make the movie.
