This used to be my hands down favorite event and this year it was trash. 1/2 the attendance, 1/2 of the silent auction items, 1/2 the footprint hidden behind pipe and drape and 1/2 of the food served. Terrible because the United Way does meaningful work, but I couldn't get out of there at 11pm and over to a late night restaurant fast enough. The one shining light was the wine was still really good.
Seriously asking what happened.
