Registration is open for the 29th annual Chesapeake Bay-themed fundraiser supper hosted by Buttonwood Nature Center on Friday, June 26 at the Waynesboro Country Club. The event begins with hors d’oeuvres at 5:30 p.m., when the silent auction begins. Cash bar available. Dinner is at 6:45 p.m.
The menu reflects the Chesapeake Bay theme, and includes hardshell crabs, steamed clams, Assateague clam chowder, mixed greens salad, Landlubbers fried chicken, Old Bay shrimp, dinner rolls, and dessert.
Live and silent auctions highlight the event, with auctioneer, Kaleb Hurley. Emcee this year is Jay Healy.
“There is always something for everyone at both our silent and live auctions,” said Jessica Watson, Buttonwood’s assistant director. “This year is no exception with experiences, antiques, collectibles, paintings, and gift baskets.”
Proceeds from the event benefit Buttonwood Nature Center, a nonprofit organization that provides programming in environmental education and cultural history for area school children, plus workshops, lectures, programs and community events for all ages.
Tickets are $100 per person, or $115 per person for patrons. Patrons are listed in the event program. The popular “Heads n’ Tails” game is $20 for three rounds.
