Saturday May 6, 2006

Friends and supporters gathered for a fun evening of lively bidding in support of Earthplace at the Dancin' in the Woods gala dinner.  Earthplace was pleased to present the 2006 Environmental Advocate Award to three distinguished leaders in the support of the preservation of the environment:  Julie Belaga, Woody Bliss and Russell Brenneman. 

Guests had the chance to place silent bids on a wide variety of items donated by area businesses and individuals.  George NcNeeley from Christie's 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.   

The proceeds from this event benefit all the activities at Earthplace, The Nature Discovery Center.  Earthplace wishes to express its deepest thanks to the generous sponsors of this important event:
