ALBANY, GA -- Easter Seals held a gourmet picnic Sunday to raise money for disabled individuals and their care-givers.

The event cost $125 dollars to attend, and included a three course meal to go along with a three band setlist.

President, Lauren Watson, says events like these are what really makes the difference.

"Uncorked and Unplugged is a gourmet picnic at Veterans Park, and we have three different bands that will be playing. And it's just to sit back and enjoy this perfect fall weather, and raise money for a great cause," said Watson.

Watson says they sold all 33 tables, and are looking forward to holding the event again in the future.
