I think it is safe to say that a good time was had by all! Although it was a rainy evening, we had a good turnout. Many came anticipating winning their favorite items, and it was with much enjoyment that I helped people find their winnings to take home.
I am enjoying getting to know more people involved in the Aroma of Art auction and met several of the artists that donated their work this year. It was wonderful seeing faces from last year's event, new faces of artists donating their work for the first time and first-time visitors, curious as to what Aroma of Art is all about.
The food was not only delicious, it was beautifully displayed in the front room of Taste Full Beans Coffee House. Thanks so much to L&L Catering for the amazing spread!
Thanks to all of the artists who donated so generously to the auction - it could not be a success without you! Thanks to all of the volunteers who served in a wide variety of capacities, from food and drink servers, to all who helped with the checkout process. We truly were a crack professional team! And thanks especially to Edgar and DW of Taste Full Beans for being the hosts with the most! Thanks too to Lisa Miller of the Women's Resource Center, Jennifer Hart Dockey of ALFA and Jane Earnest of the Humane Society of Catawba County for coordinating such a smooth ending to the evening.
Pictures of the event will be posted soon, and the links to the artists will stay up so that you can keep up with all that's new.
If you bid on some items but did not make it to the finale, please stop in this week at Taste Full Beans Coffee House or call to see if you are a winner. There were several items not claimed as of the close of the finale, so many of you have wonderful art waiting for you to take home.
