We attended a fund raiser in Bristol, RI to raise $$ for a 300 acre farm. The farm has a farmhouse which serves as a bed & breakfast; numerous walking trails; several out buildings (including this 'barn') that are used for events.
Silent auction items and a live auction were the hightlight of the evening.

Great food (too many desserts to count, including a chocolate fondue; cheeses, fruit...)

We met up with several friends from our yacht club. We bid on a few items, but we didn't 'win'. We did buy a bottle of wine & received a gift certificate for the local pizza parlor though - yum!
The evening was a great success and it was something fun & different to do.
