It will soon be time for the 2009 May Marché, the primary fund-raising event for the Huntsville Festival of the Arts (HFA), and the season's best soireé! This is a night for sampling fine food and wine, sipping martinis and socializing, outbidding your buddies at the silent auction table and, perhaps, winning a diamond pendant valued at $5,000.
Circle May 22 on your calendar and get your tickets fast - they're $50/each until, April 24, when the price goes up to $60/each (if there are any left by then). Tickets are limited, and this event always sells out. Once again this year, the Marché will be hosted at Deerhurst Resort, 7-10 p.m.
Just to whet your appetite, or to remind you of all that went on last year, here are a few photos...

Welcome to the 2008 May Marché!
Help yourself to an icy martini and mingle....
Help yourself to an icy martini and mingle....
...you never know who'll you'll be introduced to (or by)...
...or what glamorous celebrities you'll meet...
...or how they will behave (after a few martinis)...
...or which politicians will let their hair down...
...or how much fun you can have in the Deerhurst ballroom...
...before your head is finally ready to hit the pillow.
[The photos above were taken by Jon Snelson and Gillian Brunette.]For the moment, Marché tickets are available at three locations in Huntsville: Robinson’s Independent Grocer (by the entrance), Treasures and Trophies on Main Street, the Huntsville/Lake of Bays Chamber of Commerce office.

Funds raised at this event will facilitate the HFA's many arts-related projects throughout the community, as well as making it possible to bring top-notch performers to town and to promote the arts through a variety of educational endeavors. See you there?
