continue the restoration of the historic farmstead.

       
We are thrilled to welcome Whiskey, Wine & Coke, a great dance band from Connecticut.   Also back again by demand, Chez Josef of Agawam will be catering the meal.   

Additionally, the evening includes a huge Silent Auction. This year's theme is Food and Beverages. There will be something for everyone!

Gates open at 4:30 PM. Come and walk the grounds, see the antique farm equipment and check out the beautiful vistas, and get a head start on the silent auction!
