2012 Benefit Auction
The Montshire Museum's 2012 Benefit Auction was a great success. Many thanks to the volunteers, sponsors, donors, and guests who made the Fiddlehead Fling possible - Thank You!
My brother and sister-in-law from Illinois came to the Auction and had such a good time even though they knew no one except my husband and me. They chatted and laughed all night—a great friendly event. Deb Ashton
