The Blackstone Library’s 2018 fall fundraiser, An Evening with the Spirits, featured 8 beer, wine and spirits distributors pouring over 20 different tasting options, PLUS 6 psychics were on hand to give one-on-one and group readings!
The fun took place on Saturday, October 13, with over 160 tickets sold and over 50 silent auction and prize drawing items available. The event generated net proceeds of over $8,900 dollars — exceeding our fall fundraiser goal — which will support the programs and services offered to the community by the Blackstone Library.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to An Evening with the Spirits — we could not have done it without you!
