It was a record turnout and a stellar fundraising effort Saturday night as the Edmonds Center for the Arts celebrated its 10th anniversary.
Attendees enjoyed a silent auction, wine and appetizers followed by dinner from Shooby Doo Catering and a live auction featuring auctioneer John Curley. While final fundraising numbers have not been announced, it was estimated that more than $300,000 was raised during the Saturday night gala to support ECA programming.
