Music on the Mountain A Big Success!
Music on the Mountain, a major fundraiser for Fairyland Elementary School, was co-chaired by Maggie Corey and Alison Mathews, and held at the Lookout Mountain Club. This much-anticipated event was a huge success, thanks to these two powerhouse ladies and their committee members, Megan Bell, Keith Davis, Chrissy Jones, Jessica Middlebrooks, Conlee Butler and Allie Hall, as well as the FES PTO and community. The tent and auction area were very festive, with flowers on the tables and balloons. The Lookout Mountain Club served an excellent dinner buffet of hamburgers, hot dogs, barbecue and all the sides, including a delicious tomato pie. For dessert, supporters enjoyed cute cookies that were individually wrapped and shaped like music notes. The silent auction was held both at LMC and online, and many people bought something they really wanted while also helping the school.
Former FES student Jay Brooks played bluegrass music before and during dinner, and he did a great job of getting people’s toes tapping. After dinner, Nelson Williams emceed the live auction, and he and his wife, Caroline, were honored with a lifetime achievement award from the PTO for many years of service.
Folks were very generous with their donations to the auctions, raising a lot of money for the school. Ron Hart donated his beach house on 30-A; Hannah and Mark Harrel and Heath and Elizabeth Haley donated their 40-acre farm in Lafayette, along with a steak and wine pairing dinner; Erin Sizemore donated her house in Cashiers, N.C.; and the Starr Mathews Agency donated a weekend at Barnsley Gardens. One of the big draws of the night is always a chance to win a golf cart, and this year it went to Ramona Glascock, a former Fairyland School parent.
The special project this year was to start a school beautification fund for the playground and school grounds, and the new “Par 3 Closest to the Hole” golf contest raised a significant amount toward the fund, with folks paying $10 for a chance to play. The winner of the pot, Bo Butler, generously donated his winnings back to the special project. A special thanks goes out to FES alum Miles Stephens from the pro shop; he was critical in organizing and orchestrating the fun contest and even stayed through the event to help educate volunteers.
This was another successful event, thanks to the Lookout Mountain community!
