We would like to thank David Garibaldi and his road manager, Dave Shults, for being a part of our special 40th anniversary fundraiser and the incredible CNY bands that rocked the event… thank you!
We also had over 60 art items of various mediums, donated by local artisans, with a retail value of over $10,000.
