The 39th Annual Watershed FEST, which suports the Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed’s efforts to protect clean water and the environment in Central New Jersey, will be held under a tent on the 930-acre Watershed Reserve in Hopewell on October 18 at 6:30 p.m.
This year’s theme is Set Sail, which evokes the beginning of a journey and celebrates new horizons for the Watershed Association with the launch of its environmental center, set to open in December 2014.
The event encourages guests to dress in black tie with ‘nautical flair.’
It begins with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres during which guests will be able to browse the many silent and live auction offerings while listening to Calypso steel drum music.
The silent auction component will be open to the public through online bidding, open now at bidpal.net/watershedfest.
A sit-down dinner will follow the silent auction, during which Robert H. Harris, founder and principal of ENVIRON will be honored with the Ted Stiles Environmental Leadership Award.
For more information, call the Watershed Association at (609) 737-3735.
