Almost 300 people enjoyed a fun evening of spirited bidding in support of Earthplace at the Dancin' in the Woods gala dinner.  Earthplace was pleased to recognize Stewart Greenfield as an Outstanding Environmental Advocate for his long support of both local and global preservation of the environment.  An additional highlight of the evening was the special showing of a video about the Harbor Watch / River Watch program at Earthplace, the water quality testing program led by Dick Harris. This video was produced by Tiffany DeMartin.

Earthplace friends and supporters had the chance to place silent bids on a wide variety of items donated by area businesses and individuals.  In the main dinner tent, George NcNeely from Christies was the guest auctioneer for some exciting and unique live auction experiences.  Everyone enjoyed the delicious food prepared by Outdoor Cookers, and danced the night away to lively music by E.T.A. Music.
