Highlighting the Auction Preview items will be a retrospective of the famous Herb-Nordia art pieces done over the past 34 years. “Owners of these unique collectors’ items are lending them for the evening to help celebrate Herb Goldberg’s and Nordia Kay’s great talent and long-time Festival commitment,” said Lynne DeVoe, Festival President. “We are especially delighted that Herb and Nordia will be in attendance to greet their many supporters. Join us to congratulate them!”

Door prizes will be awarded during the evening festivities.
