an evening for porter

01.09.2016 By: Eliza, MiniBury Founder

DSC_0849 Just imagine: uninterrupted adult conversation, relaxing music, great food and drinks, plus that warm and fuzzy feeling you’ll get knowing you’re supporting one of our most valuable local resources, Porter Medical Center.* Wondering what we’re talking about? An Evening for Porter, the annual event hosted by the Porter Medical Center Auxiliary on February 5ᵗʰ at Two Brothers Tavern in Middlebury, of course! The adults only event is from 5:30 – 8:30 p.m., which means the babysitter is feeding the kiddos and putting them to bed, yippee! You’ve just under month to find a sitter, so no excuses please.

An Evening for Porter features local food and drinks and an absolutely awesome raffle prize, an original Rory Jackson oil on canvas (28 x 35 inches). Tickets are $35 per person which includes an evening of delicious food plus your first drink. Raffle tickets can be purchased for $10 each either before or during the event. And while you don’t have to be present to win the raffle, just think how fun it would be to stroll home with the painting in your arms! Both raffle and event tickets may be purchased online here or by phone 802-388-4738.

So go ahead and book yourself a babysitter!

*Funds raised from this event will support the community programs and important work of Porter Medical Center and Helen Porter Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center. To learn more about the Porter Medical Center Auxiliary Board, check out their mission here.

Hello, I’m Eliza. I founded MiniBury in 2012 because I had a hunch that I wasn't the only parent in Addison County missing fun family friendly events. I love the challenge of finding and sharing information about our community to other parents.
