A group of lucky people recently sat down and savored their winning bid on a delicious silent auction item from last fall’s Opportunity Ball. The annual event benefits the Nelson County Community Fund.
Chef Ben Thompson co-owner of The Rock Barn in Arrington works on preparing the meal in the Agelasto's kitchen for the dinner recently held in their home.
“It was an auction item created by Joyce Claman and hosted by several couples with Peter and me having it at Elk Hill. Then at the Opportunity Ball several of us went together to bid on it, and we successfully won. So those attending were those bidding on it and ultimately paying to come. All the proceeds go to the Nelson County Community Fund,” said Betsy Agelasto who hosted the event in her Elk Hill home along with husband Peter.
