On Saturday, October 24, New Edinburgh denizens dusted off their finery and turned out in force at a Roaring Twenties-style fund-raiser for the Crichton Cultural Community Centre. Event co-coordinator, Alex MacDonald, delivered an enchanting evening, on time and on the mark. Antique cars whisked VIPs to the back-door speakeasy while burly torpedoes kept a lookout for pikers and the police. Inside, Thyme and Again Catering poured hooch cocktails and proffered hors d’oeuvres to flappers, molls and gold-diggers alike, while the sheiks and hoods strutted by. Just as things were really starting to whirl, the Keystones arrived to bust things up. The pointy end of the business centred on fund-raising through silent and live auctions. In the backroom, the bookies counted the money. All in all, over $15 Gs were raised.
Several of our friends contributed enticing items for auction; Savvy Company, The Works and Thyme and Again Catering. The latter was the Platinum Sponsor and catered the event.
