Afton – Nelson County, Virginia
Another Elegant Evening of Jazz is in the history books. As with those in the past , the 2008 event had folks swaying into the night with jazz favorites, great food, and fantastic wines and beer from Blue Mountain Brewery and Nelson area wineries.
This is one of the larger fundraisers for the Rockfish Valley Community Center.
Ray Ashton, left, and Pete Purdue on the right, tend the bar.
Oh Yea! Not to forget Gifford Childs! When he's not instructing snowboarding on the mountain, he's pouring wine!
This site is becoming like Where's Waldo? Adam made his debut appearance at the Evening of Jazz too! Yvonne Harris of a.m. Fog on the right greets him. We're not sure what Odette Henderson is about to do on the left!
And not to be outdone, Sue Bernard stops by! We always seem to catch Sue drinking wine, mmmmmmm.
Hunting for the perfect silent auction item!
Ahhh, Sherry Wheeler, owner of Ambrosia Bakery & Deli, found her item, now she has to break it to Tripp!
May we sell you another ticket?
Don't mess with me, I am famous. I was the cover Tractor Chick!
Dessert!
Dining to the jazz hits.
If you look really, really close you can see our Diana Garland, tonight without camera! She got to enjoy the evening without pictures, well..except for this one!
Okay, here's Waldo..uhhh..I mean Adam. He highly approves of the music!
Bill Howard knows how to get snazzy!
See you at next year's Evening of Jazz!
Kudos to Pat Gooch and her committee! What a great evening. World class jazz, great food and wine and all right here in the County. Loved it.
Nellyfordette, and what about that organ on stage! Did you see that thing?
