Taste of
Hector committee thanks donors
To the editor on Sept. 18:
The Valois-Logan-Hector Volunteer Fire Company Firehouse
& Expansion Committee would like to take the opportunity to thank
individual donors and area businesses for their generous contributions
to its second annual Taste of Hector fundraiser that took place on August
27th of this year. Through ticket sales, a live auction, and a generous
private donation, Taste of Hector 2011 raised close to $10,000 for the
VLH Firehouse & Library expansion project.
The event began with wine tastings and food samplings
from wineries and restaurants from along the east side of Seneca Lake.
Dinner and wine tasting was followed by a live auction to further raise
money for the expansion project. Special thanks go to the band members
of Southwind for their contribution of live music as well as Curt Connelly,
owner of Curly’s Restaurant in Watkins Glen for his excellent
auctioneer skills.
