5th Annual Great Gatsby Regatta

This
year, the “Roaring Twenties”  adults only
event moves from Weller’s Carriage House to the Stone Arch Arts and Events  in downtown Saline and features a chance to
mingle before a themed dinner, dance, and silent auction.  Attendees are encouraged (but not required) to
come dressed in ‘20s-era garb such as flapper outfits, straw hats and bow ties,

or other period attire.  Prizes will be
awarded for best costumes.   A professional photographer will also be on
hand to capture attendees at the event and with an antique car on display.

This fun-filled affair includes dinner provided by Saline’s own Mac’s Acadia Seafood Shack, along with wines from Saline’s own Spotted Dog Winery (www.spotteddogwinery.com) and beer from Grizzly Peak in Ann Arbor (www.grizzlypeak.net).  Attendees may also partake in a cigar and whiskey bar, dance to vintage jazz and swing tunes played by the Saline Big Band, and try their luck in the no-stakes Blackjack Challenge.  During the event, a silent auction featuring a wide variety of products, services, memorabilia and tickets will be held offering guests the unique opportunity for some one of a kind purchases and deals! 

The
cost of the event is $55.00 per person, $100.00 for two or reserve a table of 8.
Tickets may be purchased online at http://www.salinecrew.org/?module=Page&pageID=29
