One Affair After Another ~ FUNdraising Tri Cities

The buzz around town is usually alive with the latest philanthropic affair. These events are unique opportunities to gather, imbibe, socialize, and ... bid, buy, beget.

There are many memorable opportunities in which to indulge while giving to a worthy cause. An example is the New England Clambake we bid for last spring. On this particular weekend, we enjoyed an exquisite and exclusive feast for twelve, brought fresh from the coast to our local Cañon de Sol winery!

The chefs were wearing "new hats" as the team from Henager, Black & Ciabattoni Dentistry donned aprons and concocted the brew of shellfish, potatoes, corn, onions, and spices. A dozen diners were treated to a feast of cool hors douvres, an array of wines, a whole lobster accompanied by oysters and clams, plus all the sides. For dessert, barrel tasting and cigars ... next time, we will bid higher!

Tri Cities Treasures

The Pasco airport is definitely a destination when I am headed out of or in to Tri Cities. Greeting me either way is Florentyna's offering regional flavors and refreshing savors for all travelers! There is a full restaurant in the airport (that offers catering, too!) and a snack bar once on the inside of security. I have had lattes & muffins in the morning and margaritas & nachos in the evening ~ and I have always been delighted.

Traveling and taste buds are not the only reasons to visit PSC (the airport code for Pasco) ... now there is another inspiration to swing by ~ finding local treasures to treat one another, here or there, with the finest gifts from the Tri Cities area. The goodies are all displayed neatly in the River News & Gifts store presented by Florentyna's. My personal favorite, of course, the t-shirts! Eat My Dust, Drink My Wine © ... and Atomically Correct © tell a tale of Tri Cities spirit and culture. Get one on. And, grab a mug, some sassy Blue Q gum, Chukar Cherries, plus MadHatter Munchies for the road! Remember to get a good book or magazine, too!
