Dutch Iris Inn Bed and Breakfast, near Hartford CT and Springfield MA

The Farmington River Watershed Association is hosting a silent auction and gala on Friday, April 16, the evening before fishing season opens.  Life-size wooden New England Folk art fish will be individually decorated and auctioned off as part of a new outreach program. 

Folk Art Fish - Poppies

The folk art fish are on display in the new Pia Sjölin Design Gallery at the Shoppes at Farmington Valley in Canton – just 25 minutes from the Dutch Iris Inn.  Bidders can hook one of their own during the silent auction, which runs from April 1-16, culminating with the gala on the evening of April 16, 6-9pm.  For more information about the event, please call 860.658.4442 or visit http://www.FRWA.org.  New England art and a fundraiser for our “wild and scenic” Farmington River - a great combination!
