PREMIERE AUCTION RAISES MONEY FOR THE FIGHT AGAINST CANCER

Last night, we produced Nashville's "Premiere Auction", one of the great annual events sponsored by "l'Ete' du Vin", the country's oldest charity wine auction. This is "l' Ete du Vin's" 30th anniversary year, and the Premiere Auction celebrated with a fabulous auction of wines, trips, artwork, jewelry and other items. Fourteen local restaurants provided incredible samples of their cuisine, while eight outstanding Napa Valley wineries showcased their vintages. This was our 10th consecutive year to produce the event, and it was another successful night for this great cause! We had a wonderful time working with the l' Ete du Vin staff; Mike Haney - Executive Director, Sara Moggio - Events Director, and Collin Husbands - Donations Director. GMC producer Brandon Thomas assisted Gary with the production and direction of the show, and Jim Sheridan and Jonathan Yeaworth managed the overall project. Special thanks to GMC staffers Keith Brogdan and Eric Cardwell for all the help with graphics and signage. Also, thanks to Marc Fragos and PSAV for assistance with lighting for the event.

The auction raised several hundred thousand dollars for the fight against cancer. Here are some shots taken at the event held at the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center...
