Chamber ‘Adopt a Dolphin’ wall sculpture auction Sunday at Tarpon Lodge
The Greater Pine Island Chamber of Commerce hosting its fourth annual wall sculpture auction, “Adopt a Dolphin,” this Sunday, Nov. 17, from 4-7 p.m. The event will be held at the Tarpon Lodge, in the shade at Island House, at 13771 Waterfront Drive, in Pineland. This lovely outdoor setting will set the tone for a fun casual time.
The bar will be open and a lighter fare menu offered. Bob Mueller will provide some entertainment.
Starting at 4 p.m. there will be time to see and enjoy the 22 dolphin sculptures on display. Make sure to arrive early, as the chamber will have a free Wicked Dolphin cocktail for you to enjoy as well as free door prizes being given away before 5 p.m. Thanks to Matlacha on Shoreview for providing a two-night stay giveaway, valued at over $500, and a Wicked Dolphin gift basket.
At 5 p.m., island resident auctioneer Isacc Holeva will take the microphone and start things rolling.
The chamber thanks the 20 island businesses that have sponsored wall sculptures. Each business sponsored a blank template of the dolphin and then organized a local artist to produce the masterpiece.
Prior to the event, the dolphin can be viewed on Facebook on the Greater Pine Island Auction Group page, where you can also place a pre-auction bid which will be the opening bid on the day. Contact the Chamber of Commerce, 239-283-0888, to continuing bidding if you cannot make it to the live auction.
