“Friends of the Museum” members Sarah Marysuk, left, and Mandy Lahti displayed two paddles up for grabs in the live auction at the group’s fourth-annual fall fundraiser gala. The paddles, made by Eric Fagerdahl and hand-carved by Devon Eldridge, were one of the top items, going to David Kircher for $300. Entitled “Cut A Rug,” the wine-and-cheese fundraiser saw about 90 people take in the festivities and about $3,200 raised—making it the most successful event yet.
