I Love My Gallery Auction
Saturday, February 20, 2010
Help support Gallery Stratford with this annual radio auction on CJCS 1240 to bid on over 400 unique items.
The Gala will include a guided wine pairing dinner with a unique menu featuring local ingredients. The event will be hosted at the Paul D. Fleck Marquee venue at the Festival Theatre, starting at 5:30 pm with a sparkling wine and craft beer reception, followed by an exquisite three-course dinner paired with VQA wines by Sommelier Chris Giuliani, and concluding with a live auction hosted by Steve Rae.
The Auction is the most important source of revenue for the Gallery each year. The funds raised are used to implement art exhibitions and education programs for the community of Stratford.
