LCHA’s party planners were inspired to create this year’s Preservation Party dinner and auction around all things Italian. The annual fundraiser, to be held Sept. 10 on the grounds of the historic Pownalborough Court House in Dresden, will feature a three-course Italian dinner, an auction of experiences that includes two vacations in Italy, and an auction of fabulous desserts.
Funds raised at Preservation Party support LCHA’s mission to collect, preserve and interpret the history of Lincoln County, Maine. The organization maintains three historic buildings, catalogs the organization’s collection of artifacts and furnishings, and supports an education program that includes a lecture series and outreach to youth in Lincoln County schools.
For those to whom Tuscany calls, the auction offers two vacation experiences: a six-night package for four in a 2 bedroom/2 bath apartment in Cortona and a seven-night package for two in a charming apartment on the Amalfi Coast. Airfare is not included, but each includes a local guided tour, a travel advisor, and a destination concierge.
Other auction experiences include a cooking class/dinner for six, a dozen car washes, a Bob Bond photographic portrait, a wine or beer tasting for six, a sumptuous gift basket of Italian food and wine, and more.
LCHA’s now-famous dessert auction will return with irresistible taste sensations from some of the county’s best bakers. Auctioneer Kaja Vielleux of Thomaston Place Auction Galleries provides wry commentary guaranteed to generate gleeful bidding.
Tickets may be purchased online at lincolncountyhistory.org.
