Historic Beaufort Foundation’s biggest fundraiser of the year was held last weekend on a perfect night weather wise at Dr. Bobby Bell’s beautiful home on The Point. This year’s honorary chairs were Mrs. L. Paul Trask and Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Dukes, Jr.  The Great Gatsby Lafayette Soiree Committee included Bonnie Hargrove, Elizabeth Klosterman, Elizabeth McMillen, Elizabeth Stroud, Jay Weidner, Karen Nuelle, Mike McFee, Paula Elliott, Executive Director Julie Good, and was supported by Fandango Productions South — Jodie Miller and Fripp Langford. Southern Graces provided wonderful catering and the band Deja Vu did a great job keeping the attendees on their feet dancing all night under Amazing Event Rentals big tent. Fandango Productions South did the decor and Sally Hendricks of Outrageous Floral Designs did the gorgeous flowers. The Greenery, Inc. donated their crew to manicure the yard. Major sponsors this year were Jaguar Hilton Head and Bill’s Liquor and Fine Wines. A big thanks to all who attended and contributed to make this year’s event a success!
