PrintCocktail contest kicks off Sweetheart Auction
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Sonoma Valley is kicking off its 28th annual Sweetheart Gala and Auction with a Moulin Rouge inspired art show and signature cocktail contest, the later of which is open to all.
In partnership with the Arts Guild of Sonoma and the El Dorado Kitchen (EDK), the event will take place Thursday, Dec. 5, at El Dorado Kitchen from 5 to 8 p.m.
The event will feature a preview of original art that is being created especially for the Sweetheart Gala and Auction, set for Feb. 9, by Sonoma Arts Guild artists. Each piece will be inspired by the gala’s theme, Moulin Rouge, and will be auctioned at the Sweetheart Gala and Auction.
The winner of the Sweetheart Auction Moulin Rouge Signature Cocktail Contest will be announced at the EDK event, where the cocktail will be served for $10.
The contest ends Friday, Nov. 23. The winner will receive two tickets to the Sweetheart Gala and Auction (value $400) on Feb. 9 and their cocktail will be served at the event.
