Highlands Falls Country Club will be rocking on Thursday evening, September 8, as patrons of the Highlands Historical Society celebrate Dazzlin’ Dahlias.
It’ll be a night of good food and competitive bidding, featuring the works four very talented artists have generously donated their art work for the Live Auction.
During July and August, we’ve told you about these artists. Katherine Bell McClure is well-known in Atlanta and Highlands. Her “Predawn Garden Tour” would enhance any home. Ruthie Watts has wowed folks for years with her artistic flare, and her dazzling “Opening Night” is the perfect culmination of a lifetime of creation.
Physician and photographer Murphy Townsend revels in capturing the beauty of flowers with his camera. You’ll love the intense colors of the dahlias he plucked from Carolyn Tanner’s garden when you’re the winning bidder of his work. Rounding out the donated art is the work of Cashiers resident Jill Wolfe. Jill is known for her prowess with the pallet knife.
The bidding will be fast and furious for any and all of these gorgeous pieces of art work.
Patrons will surely have a ball dancing to the toe-tapping tunes of Joe Gransden while surrounded by the beauty of dazzling dahlias from area gardens. In addition to the gorgeous artwork mentioned above, there’ll be many more ways to show your support for HHS.
Buy your tickets now for a night of dinner, libations, and dancing. Whether you’re an avid art collector, or just have an empty wall that needs a focal point, there’s a piece of art for you in the Dahlia Patron Party silent auction.
