Annual Dinner & Silent Auction - Rum Runners and Their Secrets
Step back to the 1920s along the shores of Nova Scotia — when vessels from the USA, Caribbean, and even St. Pierre & Miquelon waited just beyond the 12-mile limit, and daring crews brought their cargo into hidden coves along the Atlantic and Fundy coasts.
Join us for an evening inspired by this fascinating chapter of our maritime history!

This year’s theme, Rum Runners and Their Secrets, isn’t just about hidden cargo and Atlantic adventures — it’s also about the bold characters of the era.
Think:
⚓ Handsome sea captains
🏴☠️ Daring rum runners
🎩 1920s dockside glamour
🗺 Mysterious pirates
💃 Flappers & speakeasy elegance
🧥 Long coats, boots, suspenders, fedoras
💎 Pearls, lace, gloves, and vintage sparkle
Perhaps a captain guarding his cargo…
A pirate with a secret map…
A dockside dame who knows more than she lets on…
Costumes are entirely optional — but highly encouraged if you enjoy getting into the spirit of the evening! Even a small touch (a hat, a scarf, a string of pearls) adds to the fun.
We promise: no actual kidnappings required… just a little mischief and mystery.
