2010 THANK YOU everyone for making our first annual Guess Who event such an enormous success! More than $10,000 was raised! On Saturday October 2, 2010, more than 200 people came out to support Sunbury Shores at the First Annual Guess Who? Art Event. Local and national artists, craftspeople, writers, musicians, actors, radio / television personalities, politicians created and donated 6" x 8" works of art to Sunbury Shores to be sold during a huge one day sale. All the work was the same price. However... all the pieces were signed on the back. So, no one knew who they bought, until the end of the evening. For those who are wondering... here are photos of the event and of who did what: WHO DID WHAT?
