The event had a live and silent auction, musical entertainment, and the highlights of the evening were the donated custom built childrens’ play houses that were auctioned off to the highest bidder.

Eight contractors from around the state of Georgia built the custom play houses.  All proceeds from the event will benefit the Lily Pad which serviced women and children across Southwest Georgia.

Lily Pad officials say the event was such a success that they plan to make next year’s fundraiser bigger and better.
