EAST MARLBOROUGH — Spend a night on Bourbon Street and jump into Steeplechase season at the Willowdale Steeplechase’s Sixth Annual Mardi Gras Auction & Cocktail Party on Saturday, February 27, 2016 at 6 pm.
All are invited to attend and enjoy great fun and good food. Guests will enjoy hors d’oeuvres catered by Jimmy Duffy and a taste of the bayou at the raw bar by George & Sons. Philadelphia Distilling adds to the festivity by providing spirits and specialty cocktails. D. J. Frosty will play music guaranteed to have everyone leaping for a spot on the dance floor!
The beautiful Yellow House at Willowdale transforms into Bourbon Street for the festivities. Most exciting are the high value items in this year’s silent auction. Up for grabs will be a week in a beautiful house in Maui, a skybox at Dressage at Devon, a Bahamas vacation and shooting lessons. Happily you don’t have to be a big spender to be a big winner at Willowdale; there will be many other great items up for auction in a variety of price ranges.
The Mardi Gras Party is sponsored again this year in part by Wilmington Trust, an M&T company. Wilmington Trust joins The Willowdale Steeplechase in support of our beneficiaries and their commitment to a strong and healthy community.
Proceeds from the party and The Willowdale Steeplechase races on Sunday May 15, 2016 are donated to its beneficiaries: The Stroud Water Research Center, The University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine’s New Bolton Center and Quest Therapeutic Services.
