The Soles of Haverhill have 2 exciting events coming up this month to cap off this fantastic initiative which has brought our community together, increased tourism and brought a lot of joy in what has been a rough year for many. We hope you can join us.
First is A Whole Lot of Sole, a 21+ cocktail party on Saturday, October 17th from 6:30PM to 11:00PM. This energizing social event will give guests the opportunity be part of the last viewing all of the Soles of Haverhill shoes prior to the auction.
The party will be hosted at the Buttonwoods Museum, 240 Water Street in Haverhill, which will feature an exhibit “Queen Slipper City Haverhill” as background to this event.
Tickets are $25 in advance, $30 at the door (if still available).
The second event, is the Shoe-la-bration Gala Auction, on Saturday October 24th starting at 6:30 will be a one-of-a-kind event that will help support Haverhill public art projects, community non profits, and cultural organizations.
At the upcoming gala event more than 200 guests can take part in a live auction for the hand-painted fiberglass vintage shoes which have adorned the streets and public spaces of Haverhill since the beginning of June. The six-foot-tall shoes will be will be auctioned at the event, under the auspices of Tim Milks, ‘Auctioneer Extraordinaire’ from Sevierville, Tennessee.
A silent auction consisting of various unique items and services will be held prior to an elegant seated dinner and exciting live auction. Since the vividly painted shoes were released onto the streets of Haverhill, they have attracted tremendous attention locally and regionally.
Based on the high level of interest, the Soles of Haverhill committee members expect lively and competitive bidding from attendees of the gala event.
It is anticipated that these beautiful artworks, created by local professional artists, will inspire collectors and leaders to avidly bid at auction with the knowledge that they’re directly assisting various Haverhill non-profits.
This is a unique opportunity to own an original work-of-art, enjoy a fun and fabulous evening consisting of fine dining, art, entertainment, and philanthropy.
The Gala will be held at the Bradford Country Club at 201 Chadwick Road in Haverhill.
Tickets are $60.00 and tables of 8 are also available.
