On Saturday, October 19, we celebrated the 20th Anniversary of the Book Lovers’ Ball at Treleaven Winery.
One hundred ninety attendees filled a tent. The tables were adorned with autumn decorations, including pumpkins, gourds, and fairy lights. Showy dahlia arrangements were provided by Deb Lampman of Bedlam Gardens.
Attendees supped on a delicious dinner prepared by Cookie of Simply Cookie, with an assortment of cupcakes to end the meal. Attendees enjoyed Treleaven wines and three varieties of craft beers donated by Aurora Ale. The Destination fired up tunes which kept everyone on their feet dancing. A silent auction with items for every taste and budget was a temptation once attendees took a break from dancing.
As wonderful an evening as it was, it could not have happened without the support of Treleaven Winery, our dedicated sponsors and silent auction donors who make the event possible. A dedicated committee worked throughout the year to create a memorable evening. But most important, this was a fundraiser for the Aurora Free Library which is celebrating its 125th anniversary. We are grateful for the support of everyone who made this spectacular evening successful and memorable.
