NEW for 2026: Door Prize and Silent Auction!
This year, through the generosity of a Sponsor, we are pleased to offer a bottle of Bushmills Millennium Malt as a door prize. We will also be hosting a silent auction featuring four more bottles, each appraised at over $900 USD. Whether you are a seasoned collector or simply curious, this is a wonderful opportunity to bid on something unique and enjoy an evening of community and fellowship. Samples will be given to anyone who makes a bid.
