We are thrilled to have two talented musicians this year!  Live music on the stage:  

Audra Sergel is a supremely talented singer-songwriter and pianist whose vocal jazz melodies are shaded with influences of the blues, pop, and early musical theater. https://www.audrasergel.com/index.html

and 

Stephen Jones, a favorite who frequently plays at local venues. He is a singer, songwriter, and musician with a repertoire that spans from the 70's through 90's. https://www.facebook.com/iamstephenjonesmusic

This is an outdoor, open-air venue, and this event will occur rain or shine (hopefully shine and not too hot).

Our charities this year, to which ALL proceeds from the event and silent auction are donated are the Mid-Missouri Fisher House https://www.midmofisherhouse.org/

and our local Food Pantry. Last year we were able to raise enough money to donate to the local food pantry that they were able to provide Thanksgiving turkeys to all of their pantry recipients. Thank you to last year's attendees for this wonderful gift!
