TENNESSEE RIVER Gorge Trust celebrates its third annual “Another Gorgeous Evening” Saturday at Tennessee RiverPlace.

The event will begin with an open bar and music by the Ben Friberg Trio. During cocktails, there will be an appearance by a professional falconer, says Sarah Quattrochi, Tennessee River Gorge Trust outreach and development director. A dinner buffet will be provided by Alshabibi Catering.

A live auction will follow with items that include a photo of the gorge, printed on aluminum by Kevin Livingood; two nights at the Dancing Bear Lodge in Townsend, Tenn.; a wine collection; celebrity-signed memorabilia of the Rolling Stones, artist LeRoy Neiman and boxer Muhammed Ali; and trips to San Francisco and Sonoma Valley; an Indy Car Racing experience; four nights at Lake Louise in Alberta, Canada; six nights in Ireland and more.
