Salvations Furniture Exhibition By Green Project

Upon trying to find things to do during our first trip to New Orleans I came across this event on
.
WHERE: On the third floor of the Shoppes at Canal Place.
ATMOSPHERE: Various ages young to older. Many «green» people. Dress was mostly dressy but some people were dressed very casually.
WHAT: Fundraiser by the Green Project and furniture auction with live music by various bands which mostly played jazz or Davenport style music, food and open bar at the pre-​party. Food and drinks were from various restaurants around the city and were yummy! It was definitely enough for dinner. Food ranged from jambalaya, kimchee with grits, ahi tuna, pizza, doughnut balls, mini cupcakes, etc. Open bar consisted of vodka drinks, whiskey drinks, Abita beer, rum based drinks. The furniture was definitely one of a kind! Since it was an auction the furniture was pricey of course.
WHEN: This year’s event was on 21 APR 2012. The pre-​party started at 1830, auction started at 2000.
PRICES: We got a good deal on
where admission was $ 100 for 2 people to include food and open bar all night. It cost less for admission at 2000 but food and drink were still available at that time although some food tables ran out of food.
CONCLUSION: What a good cause and a fun event! I love trying all kinds of local restaurants in one location especially as a visitor and the going green efforts to decrease the waste in landfills in the area. I would suggest this for next year!
