Story and photography by Holly Lane-Adreon

The beautiful Hunter Valley Farm, with its lake views, sandy beach and beautiful pavilion, was the perfect location for this year’s Sandbar Social. Guests of the event enjoyed a fantastic evening out while supporting a great cause. This year’s Sandbar Social featured a laid-back evening of socializing, sipping on wine and signature cocktails, dining on delectable hors d’oeuvres and a delicious shrimp boil. Live music under the stars, a cigar bar and silent and live auctions capped the night off for those who attended. The event benefited SERTOMA, a nonprofit that provides opportunities for adults with disabilities to find satisfaction of a life well-lived through work and friendship.
