The 18th annual River Swing event takes place September 18, 2021 at River Circle Farm in Franklin Tennessee from 6:00 pm to 10:00pm. It is not to late to purchase event tickets. The annual event and auction raise a third of the operating funds that enable the Harpeth Conservancy to carry out its mission of protecting Tennessee’s rivers and clean water.

The auction is accessed in person for attendees and on-line as well. So even if you are unable to attend the event you can participate in the auction. The auction is scheduled to be open online by September 12th. To sign up for the online auction and get the internet link go to https://harpethconservancy.org/river-swing/ between September 12th and 18th.

Celebrating my new book, Stories from Applewood Manor, we have contributed three items for the auction. If you are a lover of great wines, you will not want to miss the opportunity to bid on two first-growth wines from our private collection.

A 1994 bottle of Chateau Margaux: This Premier Grand Cru Classe is one of Bordeaux's most famous wine estates. The 1994 is a classic, long lived Bordeaux—consistently rated excellent to superb.
A 1995 bottle of Chateau Angelus: The most highly desired wine out of the St. Emilion region of Bordeaux—a Premier Grand Cur Classe.

Each of the wines come with a copy of my new book, Stores from Applewood Manor. And you can also bid on two prepaid nights at Applewood Manor. The historic Manor (Circa 1912) is Asheville North Carolina’s premier luxury bed and breakfast inn. The auction is a wonderful way to support the Harpeth Conservancy’s mission to restore and protect clean water and healthy ecosystems of Tennessee rivers while taking advantage of some super bargains—so happy bidding!
