Description

Our annual gala is always sold out weeks before the event. Reservations are required and no tickets are sold at the venue.

It is catered by area favorite Gennaro's Trattoria. And Gennaro DiMeo takes it as a personal challenge to craft a beautiful and unique dish for each year's event. Fine wine and beer are included.

Dance music is offered by "The Grateful Geezers", a fun band playing music we all can relate to (and our demographics are all over the place!). 

Our live auctioneer is Sheriff Mark Reynolds and we generally have 6-8 live auction items. County Commissioner Donna Eccleston will host the raffle of a wheelbarrow filled with wine and spirits. Graduates and current students of the Canine Classmates Literacy Intervention Program provide insights to the benefits of the program.
