The North Central Louisiana Arts Council is eagerly preparing for the 2012 Silent Auction to take place tomorrow, February 18^th, at the Krewe of Allegro Mardi Gras Ball. This year, through generosity of others, NCLAC has assembled quite a tempting spread of items. Everything from fine art, classic antiques, sweet treats, and weeklong get away will be present to tempt even the most cautious spender. While many other Silent Auctions take place during the year in Lincoln Parish, NCLAC can’t help but think that ours is special. While the items are impressive we are always more impressed with how generous our community continues to be, regardless of our current economic climate. The funds raised from the Silent Auction are crucial for NCLAC success and without them we would have to discontinue many of our programs.

We are here weekly to provide a voice for the arts in Lincoln Parish and our surrounding area and we always find it uplifting to know we never have to search too long to find something to write about. That says a lot about our community and their support for the arts! So thank you to all those wonderful individuals, businesses, and organizations that donated items. If you see these people around let them know how much we appreciate them and if you are one of these special people, thank you.
