Silent AuctionIt's that time again, the Summer Fair is here. This year many of our offerings are experiences that focus on enjoying and appreciating our beautiful Southcoast area -- sailing lessons on the Westport River, offerings from our local farms and of course works of art from our local artists.
There are so many examples of their talent and generosity: original paintings; signed and numbered prints; not to mention crafts, blown glass, quilts and baskets. And then there are the food offerings: a basket of coffees, baskets of wine and of course, lobsters. The Silent Auction will is open online and will remain open until Friday, July 19th at 6:00 p.m. |
