The community came together for an evening of fun,
food, craft beer, wine, and music by The Shakers. Emceed
by Virginia Sinicki (a former Big Sister) from the KVJ
Show on 97.9 WRMF, the entertainment kept the music
going all night long. By the end of the evening guests
were dancing. The silent auction and raffles were a big
hit as many bids were online and mobile this year with
many sought-after prizes from places like hotel stays,
theme parks, Southwest Airline tickets, and many more.
