This benefit will aid the children of St. Mary's Home and will feature artwork by local, as well as out-of-state artists.

The event is scheduled for April 13, 7 p.m. at the DeSoto Hilton on Liberty Street.

The extravaganza is organized by St. Mary's Home. All proceeds will benefit the children of St. Mary's Home.

How does it work? Everyone walks away a winner! During the reception, guests can mingle and study the donated artwork. At 8 p.m. the drawing for the artwork will begin. For example: If your name is drawn first, you will have first choice out of all the artwork, and so on until all the artwork has been selected.

A limited number of tickets are on sale for $125 each which includes the reception and the artwork of your choice. Two people may enter the Extravaganza on one ticket, but each ticket will be redeemed for only one piece of art. For ticket information, call )912) 236-7164.
