Lakes Region Uncorked Offers More than Tastings

Auction winners can explore the world…. or enjoy items donated by talented crafters and entrepreneurs close-to-home.

Lakes Region Community Services signature fundraiser Uncorked puts a smile on everyone’s face!

As guests sample handcrafted products from 25 local vendors and enjoy appetizers and specialty foods, they can also participate in the Uncorked silent auction and bid on unique items that would make anyone happy.

“It’s a great way to start your holiday shopping. We have wonderful items from far afield and items donated by local businesses, artisans and Uncorked vendors. Our auction items are truly unique and make amazing gifts. Between the auction and the Wall of Wine Raffle, Uncorked guests can pick-up some real bargains. You can’t go wrong and all this fun supports a great cause, “commented Joanne Piper Lang, LRCS Director of Development.
