Friday, May 7th, 2010, 6:30-9pm

Take home some of the unique selections like those pictured on this page, available at Elachee's Spring Benefit Auction, Flights of Fancy. The casual event is scheduled for Friday, May 7th from 6:30-9 pm at the main Center off Atlanta Highway.

The highlight of the evening is the auction - an array of truly unique birdhouses, garden sculptures, whimsical yard art, bird feeders, planters, and gardening gift baskets created and donated by local artists and friends of Elachee. Attendees enjoy a casual spring evening of light dinner fare with an international flair by Rico's World Kitchen, beverage bar, and silent and live auction, with beautifully crafted "flighty" creations. Live Auctioneer: Gainesville's own noted artist, Frank Norton.

Whether you need a functional birdhouse, a unique piece to grace your yard or are shopping for a special gift for mother's day, you may find the perfect treasure among our one-of-a-kind pieces.
