Columbia County Historical Society

FIRST COLUMBIANS
2008

Saturday, the 14th of June

The Society's major benefit welcomes American artist Ellsworth Kelly, a master of modern art and a Columbia County resident, as our Distinguished Guest.

Festivities begin at 5 o'clock with a Cocktail Reception on the scenic Chatham property of Lois Dickson. The Reception includes an exciting Silent Auction, highlights of which include the inaugural "Artists Gallery" featuring the work of many of Columbia County's most creative talents -- and coveted tickets to Sold Out Red Sox and Giants games (see below) -- among many other temptations!

For those wishing to attend, the reception is followed by private dinners at elegant homes throughout the county. Please call the Society at 758-9265 for further information.
