Annie’s Star-Spangled G.A.L.A Hits the Bullseye
Thanks to the creative thinking and diligent work of devoted
volunteers, Annie’s G.A.L.A. proved to be a success story! Annie’s
Star-Spangled Gala has been a
long-standing annual fundraiser for the Garst Museum and normally takes
place in June. Due to circumstances surrounding COVID, many things had
to change in order to keep the fundraiser on the calendar for 2020.
This included the new date of October 3, a different name—Annie’s
G.A.L.A (Garst Alternative to the Live Auction), an event website, and
pre-ordered dinners that were picked up in the new Garst Museum parking
lot.
But, the energy and anticipation did not change. Eager bidders filled
the Lowell Thomas Gallery watching the final offers for items mount
before the auction closed and waiting for the beach-house drawing
winner to be announced. Much excitement of the auction surrounded the
competitive bidding on a Bob Brubaker painting, donated by Park
National Bank, depicting a fort scene of what might have occurred in
the days of General Anthony Wayne. And, the lucky winner of the
drawing for the one-week Florida stay in the Ft. Myers’ home, donated
by Mike and Sherri Jones, was Bonnie Perry!
It is the enthusiastic support of the people of Darke County and the
generous corporate sponsorships and donations that made Annie’s
G.A.L.A. a success. The Garst Museum wishes to thank Aim Midwest Media
for their Premier Sponsorship.
