Cool breezes, great music and wonderful flavors were special guests at our Harvesting for Education event on November 15. Locally sourced ingredients created a cornucopia of delightful cuisine, presented by Wild Thyme Catering, while guests enjoyed the rarest of fine wine, donated by Indian River Home Care. Special thanks to our sponsors and volunteers who made this unique experience possible. Magnolia Manor offered a beautiful backdrop for our amazing guests to enjoy each other’s company and shared love for Education in Indian River County.
