The Annual PCRA Garden Party is much more than a party with delicious food, beautiful flowers, lovely music, and hats galore. All of that is a means to an end, and that end is supporting the work of the Perquimans County Restoration Association in the preservation of the ca. 1730 Newbold White House and the early 19th century Newby Cottage, the maintenance of the Periauger, the reconstruction and restoration of the Pasquotank Plank House, and the educational programs which the volunteer board of PCRA offers to our community throughout the year.
The Garden Party raises funds for all of these necessary expenses through several avenues.
First of all the tickets for the party itself. We couldn't do it without those of you who faithfully support this and other events throughout the year, and we welcome newcomers to the site, the association, and the event with open arms and a warm Southern greeting!
Second is the silent auction and raffle held during the Garden Party. A variety of unique items donated by our members and friends will be available for you to browse and bid on, including the ever popular wine cart, which this year will be held in a half-barrell rather than a wheel barrow. Come prepared to bid early and often, and remember it all goes to a very good cause!
Third, and perhaps most important of all, is our sponsors. Local business owners and individuals who generously give in advance to support the event and the Association. These donations come in many forms, including cash gifts, as well as goods and services to make the event possible. A huge thank you to all who are sponsoring this and other PCRA events! Our sponsors will be listed and announced at the Garden Party, and recognized here on our social media following the event.
So please remember to mail, email, hand deliver, or phone in your RSVP reservation for June 6, or go online to www.perquimansrestroration.org to make your reservation and payment today!
