SILVERTHORNE - A celebration of life honoring Jay Bauer is scheduled for March 27 in the Silverthorne Pavilion at 2 p.m.
"It will be a time of joy and reflection," Frisco resident Don Sather said in an e-mail. "People are encouraged to bring old photos of Jay and spend the afternoon."
Bauer, a well-respected attorney and emcee died the night of March 1 after battling for years with melanoma.
A jazz band including one of Bauer's friends is to perform at the event later this month, and Breckenridge resident Rick Bly is to emcee.
There will also be open mic time for people who wish to speak.
