What does an overnight stay in a classic room at the Tidewater Inn, together with a $50 gift certificate for the Avalon Theater and breakfast the next day, have in common with a fishing trip captained by Willie Roe on his boat, “Big Will”? They are the latest items added to the list of treasures that will be up for bid at SPLENDOR, the Tilghman Watermen’s Museum’s annual fundraising event.
This year’s SPLENDOR will be held at the Tilghman Island Volunteer Fire Hall on Saturday, April 8, 2017, from 5 to 8 p.m. As in previous years, SPLENDOR will feature a variety of beers and fine wines, a raw bar, and hors d’oeuvres from local restaurants, all included with the price of admission.
Gift certificates to local attractions and restaurants are up for bid, as well as a visit from Santa for your children or grandchildren, artwork by local artists Colleen Sadler and the late Bill Cummings, and gift baskets from local merchants. For those who like Maryland blue crabs, there’s a crabbing trip for six with Captain Russell Dize, and a bushel of crabs for those who like to purchase them all ready cooked. A week’s vacation on the coast of Maine, an overnight stay at the Inn at Perry Cabin, and an ambrosia maple coffee table hand crafted by Ken Peake will inspire you to bid.
Chuck Livingston will serve as auctioneer again this year, with Linda Haddaway King as Master of Ceremonies. Admission is $35 per person, and tickets are available at Two if by Sea Cafe, at the door or by contacting the museum at 410-886-2930 or [email protected]
