On Friday, October 1, 2010, months of hard work on the Rocking Chair Fundraiser came to an end at the Ramblin' Rockers Reception and Auction. The evening was filled with people talking and laughing enjoying the night with friends, food, and painted rocking chairs. Several artists, sponsors, Chamber members, and others filled the building in hopes to support this fundraiser. Wilkes Art Gallery was gracious enough to allow us to host the event there, as well as the food and beverages being provided.

The night started off with a continuation of the silent auction for each of the chairs, up until auctioneer Eddie Barnes took to the microphone to start the live auction. Overall, at the end of the night, we raised enough money to support the materials we need to promote tourism to the area.
We would like to say Thank You to all of those who helped sell, purchase, paint, transport, and even organize the event! We cannot say Thank You enough!
