Music Under the Stars (Fall 2005 Fundraiser)

Music Under the Stars, our Fall fund raiser for 2005, was a great success. Almost 200 people came to see us. The Tom Staley Family again started us off at the barn with some of their award winning renditions of folk music. The auction items were displayed on tables and pictures were hung on the barn doors. The farmhouse was again open for tours and the BBQ was in its usual spot back by the duck pens. Back at the barn four University of Florida clarinetists played such beautiful music that I'm sure that's what encouraged the bidding. Then Monica Leadon and her friend jammed it up with some outstanding sounds. The evening was a great success.

Here are some selected photos from 2005.
