"Uncorked" at the Museum of Discovery

Last Thursday afternoon, I got an email from my sister-in-law, Shannon, asking if I would like to attend Uncorked that night. Knowing I didn't have plans, I said sure! Little did I know, I had just signed up for the evening of the month in Downtown Little Rock. Tickets were $100/person and the event hosted Governor Beebe, photographers galore and a silent auction. As we walked in, we were asked to fill out a bidder form and to grab a wine glass, which we got to keep. As we ventured around the museum, we encountered live animals including: termites, a hedgehog & even a baby alligator. There was also a "wine pull" where I won a $93 bottle of wine!!

After enjoying appetizers, drinks and a termite race (yea, I said it, and it really happened!!) we walked over to the silent auction. I found a trip to Petit Jean that immediately caught my eye, but apparently everyone else had the same idea. Then I saw the one that had my name all over it... a Tailgate Package from Corky's BBQ! One bid later, and the item was mine.

Once we all had our fill and the silent auction had closed, we all headed home. I'm so happy I got to attend with Shannon, and our friends Joy and Susanne! What a great time and all the proceeds went to a good cause!
