STORY AND PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK
Boulder Mountain Clayworks will go ahead with its annual Tuscany on Tenth fundraiser this summer, celebrating the fact that it provides many with a crafty diversion when so much of usual life has been curtailed.
But it’s moving to the Sawtooth Botanical Garden to allow better social distancing than the Clayworks studio can provide. And guests will be asked to wear masks.
The benefit will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, July 22, at the Sawtooth Botanical Garden, four miles south of Ketchum on the corner of Highway 75 and Gimlet Road.
Ketchum Grill will serve up gourmet pizza. And Portia’s Kitchen will serve other Italian specialties.
As always, guests will get the opportunity to choose a complimentary one-of-a-kind wine cup fired at Boulder Mountain Clayworks for their wine. And there will be a silent and live auction.
Tickets are $75 if purchased ahead of time and $90 at the door. They’re available at www.bouldermtnclay.org. Or guests can mail checks to P.O. Box 3725, Ketchum, ID 83340 or call 208-726-4484.
Guests are asked to RSVP by July 21.
