CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – The Clarksville Association of Realtors® (CAR) will host their 10th annual FUEL fundraiser on Saturday, May 6, 2017. The theme for this year’s event is “Appetite for Art.”

Appetite for Art is a brand-new event that will include a “farm to table” dinner at the Budweiser Family Barn located at 1816 Ross Road, Cedar Hill, Tennessee. The dinner will include food from local farmers and vendors, and will showcase artwork from Montgomery County students.

Live music will be provided by The Jeremy Holt Band and Ryan and Gretchen from Q108 in the Morning will serve as emcees.

The artwork submitted will be grouped into four categories and the winning school from each category will receive $200 for their art programs. Artwork from the winners will be part of a live auction, and other submitted artwork will be displayed on different items and available for purchase at the event. There will also be a silent auction which includes various goods and services.

Kitchen-themed items featuring the children’s artwork will also be for sale at the event and every guest will receive a goody bag.

Local farmers and vendors include: H&S Farm (strawberries) in Clarksville, Morning Star Farms (lettuce) in Adams, Hampton Meats in Hopkinsville, Golly G’s Coffee, Ice Cream & Sweets in Pleasant View, Publix Bakery on Madison Street.

“The FUEL program is very special to CAR, our Realtors and Affiliate Partners,” said Jennifer Huggins, 2017 Chair of CAR’s Helping Hands Committee. “We are very excited about this new event, and we, as Realtors, are so happy to help children in our own town who need assistance,” said Huggins.

Tickets ($35 each/$50 couple) will be available the day of the event, but attendees are encouraged to purchase tickets in advance by calling the CAR office at 931-552-3567, or by visiting ClarksvilleAOR.com/art , or emailing info@Clarksvilleaor.com.

FUEL is a food subsidization program designed to feed Clarksville-Montgomery County school children through the weekend whose only food source may be the meals they are receiving at school. Individually wrapped items are discreetly made available to the qualifying students each Friday. The program is funded solely through donations and local fundraising efforts and operated through local churches and civic organizations.

FUEL would like to thank the Hand Family and Budweiser for use of the Red Barn.
