The festive autumn banner has for years welcomed guests to Earthplace Fall events.
It was a beautiful night for Earthplace’s annual fundraiser - The Woodside Bash! Guests feasted on a delicious harvest dinner from Harbor Harvest and sipped on spiced apple margarita cocktails. Fairfield county’s favorite rock band, Pimpinella, played all the favorite classics
The mechanical bull was busy much of the night. Guests eagerly cued up to see how long they could stay on the bull. Most took to the "saddle" highly confident of their ability, however in the end each rider met the same fate. The bucking bull easily and unceremoniously tossed each intrepid "cowboy or cowgirl", to the ground. In fact, there were far more "cowgirls" than "cowboys".
The photos above show the confident start and less than graceful finish of the bull rider challenge.
The winner of the longest time on the bull walked away with a $100 gift card provided by Black Bear Wine and Spirits. We are already looking forward to next years event!

While some riders lasted longer than others, including the winner of the $100 gift card provided by Black Bear Wine and Spirits, the end of the ride was pretty much the same for everyone.
The welcoming bonfire became a gathering spot for guests after enjoying their dinners.
