Carol Decker-Nationally known wildlife artist and Sussex County resident has made this beautiful print-from her 2009 collection available for silent auction at the 5th Annual Lusscroft Wine and Cheese Event- Saturday, September 12.
Lusscroft Farm has a special place not only in the hearts of Sussex County residents, but in our nation's agricultural history. In it's hay day, Lusscroft Farm achieved recognition for its contributions to the dairy industry. Later the property became a research and education facility for many Rutgers University students and later still the farm was home to "unforgettable summer camp fun" for countless 4H members.
Lusscroft Farm features several outbuildings and a main house-referred to as the mansion- which are in great need of restoration and repair. Funds generated through the 5th annual Wine and Cheese event-held at the farm- are dedicated to those efforts. Proceeds from the winning bid on this beautiful print will be donated in their entirety to the cause. Opening bid starts at 200.00. Auction closes at 3:15.
Tickets for the Wine and Cheese Event are still available.
The event features locally grown foods, prepared by the budding culinary masters of Sussex Technical High School (under the direction of their chef instructors), NJ wines offered through Cava Winery. Special label selects from this 2009 fundraiser will be available for purchase at the event and locally at Cava Winery in Hamburg. A generous portion of the proceeds will be donated to the restoration fund.
