Bid, Savor, and Celebrate March 19 at MERF’s Taste of the Mountain and Art Auction

The Mentone Educational Resources Foundation (MERF) invites the community to its annual Taste of the Mountain and Art Auction, a beloved fundraiser celebrating local art, food, and education.

This year’s event will take place on Thursday, March 19, at Alpine Camp, with gates opening at 5 p.m. Guests will enjoy an evening filled with creativity, cuisine, and community spirit — all in support of a meaningful cause.

Browse and bid during both a silent and live auction featuring stunning works from talented regional artists, as well as special pieces created by Valley Head School elementary students through MERF’s fine arts program. In addition to artwork, bidders can compete for sought-after experience packages, including cozy cabin retreats, private chef dinners, and other thoughtfully curated offerings.

Food lovers will also be in for a treat. A variety of local restaurants and businesses will serve signature dishes throughout the evening. Come hungry and get to know those whose culinary works make our community a food lover’s destination.

Tickets are $50 and can be purchased online or at Mentone Market (cash or check accepted). Purchase tickets here.

Those who would like to further support the event may also contribute through sponsorship donations. Become a sponsor or donate here: https://www.merfhouse.com/product/art-auction-sponsorship-donation/12

All proceeds from the evening directly support local art education initiatives and other community-focused programs led by MERF.
