Event goers enjoyed the wonderful selection of silent and live auction items and the tasty treats our food, wine and beer sponsors donated to the event. The BIG EVENT was graciously hosted by Embassy Suites and their wonderful staff, and Auctioneer Todd Ventura, Emcee Jay Turner and the Cuesta Jazz Collective provided the entertainment.
