Reserve your spot at Reds, Whites & Desserts!
There's still time to reserve your spot at the Chamber's15th anniversary Reds, Whites & Desserts event on Friday, April 20, from 7 to 10 p.m., at Bridgewater Banquet & Conference Center, 10561 Sawmill Pkwy.
"Dots" and "spots" feature prominently in the "Connect the Dots" motif and black-and-white polka-dot décor of this year's event, which is a major fundraiser for the Chamber.
Reds, Whites & Desserts offers wine tasting, hors d'oeuvres and food stations, desserts for sampling and auction, and 50 silent auction packages, many tied to the "Connect the Dots" theme.
Reds, Whites & Desserts has become a "vintage" tradition for local partygoers, drawing a growing crowd of attendees each year since the event was launched in 1998. Attendance is approximately 300 at each event, and the number of themed silent auction packages has increased tenfold from the five offered at the first event.
