LEARN MORE ABOUT ECO FAIR BUTTON
Most of EcoFair has been designed to mobilize conservation action through restoration efforts and education. The Evening Gala Fundraiser, however, has been planned as an evening of networking and celebration. It is a chance to enjoy local food and drink while engaging with a community of conservation-minded people against the backdrop of Sea Star, one of the Gulf Island’s only wineries.
Evening schedule
Doors open at 7PM and we encourage you to wear your Sunday best! Guests will be invited to explore the space, spending time indoors or in the crisp fall air on the patio under the protection of tents in the likely event of October rain. Wine made locally on site will be available for purchase, with each attendee being entitled to one half price wine tasting, graciously provided by Sea Star as a key sponsor of EcoFair weekend. Nibbles from local purveyors will be freely available for enjoyment throughout the evening.
A program of storytelling with Faye Mogensen and the musical stylings of Lester Quitzau will begin at 7:30PM extending until 9:30PM.
Kim Pollard’s untitled painting will be on display at Sea Star throughout the month of October. Valued at over $6,000.00, a silent auction will be open during the Evening Gala Fundraiser with a minimum starting bid of $500. The auction winner will be announced before the end of the event.
