Rock the Dock a success despite cloudy skies and a last minute location change

Marga's Dutch Apple pie was just one of the many awesome items that sold at the CCB GST Auction. The other big seller on the night was Quiche by Lorrain and Denz's signature clam pizza"This place is GREAT!" was the echo from most of the Dock Rockers last evening at CCB's Rock the Dock held at 305 Knowlton. The event, originally scheduled to be held at The Bridgeport Boat Basin in Downtown Bridgeport (which we are working feverishly to fundraise to build), was forced to be moved last minute due to safety concerns by the Bridgeport Police.
However, thanks to the hard work of all the CCB Volunteers, New Haven's The Amples, The Bridgeport Lobster Company and of course, Mike and the great folks at 305 Knowlton, the event went off without a hitch - even if rain threatened to wash the whole shebang into the Pequonnock River.
But when it was all said and done, the rain held off, the band rocked on, the food was delicous and the venue amazing. Add several dozen of our close friends, a really cool Auction with everything from legal services to quiche, you cant help but say it was a great freindraiser, if not a great fundraiser.
But we're not done cleaning up and we're certainly not done in the effort to build the Bridgeport Boat Basin- so if you couldn't make it last night, perhaps you can help with an apres party contribution- but either way, you really should have seen Marga's Dutch Apple Pie and if you were lucky got to taste it- It sold at auction for $20 to Rebecca H and family and by all accounts was epic- Thanks Marga and Deniz!
