The Lake Burton Civic Association (LBCA) is thrilled to announce the resounding success of the recent Burton Bash and Art Auction, held on October 21, 2023, at LaPrades Marina. With more than 200 attendees, the event was a triumph for the community and raised more than $18,000 for LBCA's Clean and Safe Water Initiatives.

The event, organized by The Burton Bash Committee, brought together LBCA members and friends of Lake Burton for a magical evening under the Starry Skies of Burton, all while championing the essential cause of clean and safe water.

The Burton Bash Committee Chair, Amy Hulett, emphasized the event's significance: "The Burton Bash was a great time for neighbors and friends to get together for fun and fellowship while supporting LBCA's Clean and Safe Water Initiatives."

The event's highlights included delectable food and beverages from The Burton Grill, ensuring a delightful culinary experience for all attendees. The exquisite cuisine added to the overall enjoyment of the evening, contributing to the event's resounding success.
