On Tuesday, May 20th, the Mercersburg Council for the Arts held its inaugural fundraising event at Flannery's Tavern on the Square in Mercersburg, PA. From 5-8 p.m., a silent auction was held, scrumptious hors d'oeuvres were passed by the staff, door prizes were given away, and live music was supplied by local alt-country group, The Hello Strangers, with special guests, The Blue Chair (jazz). It was certainly a smashing success! The need for more art events in our community was affirmed by the amount and variety of people that attended.
The Council is thrilled with the support they have received from the Mercersburg Chamber of Commerce and community members. We are confident that we will now have the momentum to continue our mission and goals in the years to come. Thank you to everyone who came out to our mixer and who support the local arts. And please enjoy the photos below, taken by Ryan Smith (Historian of MCFA)!
