CaponCabana, theme for this year’s Art &Elegance fundraiser, proved to have surpassed expectations. We raised $24,000 for Morgan Arts Council’s operations and programs – Putting Art Out There! Tari’s glorious buffet was a savory delight… chicken, beef, lamb and lobster were in a spiced mix of entrees. Desserts ranged from plump and luscious fruit to creme brûlée and festive cookies. The scene was set with the artistic assistance of committee members who fashioned palm trees against a wall of lights. And the music! The Martinsburg Jazz Band with sultry vocals by Mary Hott enticed guests onto the dance floor. Isn’t it glorious to have couples vying for space… gliding to a romantic waltz or the more complicated moves of a foxtrot?

Dr. Matt Hahn was glib and gracious as he nudged guests to make their Tombola decisions in a timely manner. The donated art and experiences were enthusiastically claimed as numbers were drawn.
