Playing off our well-known communal weakness for eating and drinking outdoors, Stephanie at the Oakhurst Community Garden announces this year’s Martinis in the Garden fundraiser and sends along this press release…

DECATUR-The Oakhurst Community Garden Project invites you to an evening of chic yet down-to-earth fun with “Martinis in the Garden” on Saturday, May 16, 2009, from 5:30 until 8:30 p.m.

Benefiting the Oakhurst Community Garden Project, Martinis in the Garden will feature a selection of delicious Martinis, live music, a live auction, and fabulous food from the The International Culinary School at The Art Institute of Atlanta, Parker’s on Ponce and Bhojanic -all amidst nature at her springtime finest!

The admission ($35 pre-event, $40 at door) for the event includes three martinis of choice and food. Tickets can be purchased online [HERE]. Other beverages, including local microbrews, will also be available.

Thank you to our lead sponsors Pinnacle Custom Builders, Inc., Oakhurst Business Association, and Universal Joint/Steinbeck’s Oyster Bar.
