In addition to a silent auction fundraiser, this year’s event will also include food and beverage sampling from over 25 local establishments.
“We wanted to change things up a bit this year and host a fun, social event for the people who support our organization year after year. We hope to have a large crowd come out and enjoy the restaurants, breweries and wineries we are bringing together for the event and help us raise much needed funds,” shared Executive Director, Melissa Carlson.
