This last week I attended two fundraisers for charitie. The first was for Akron Goodwill. A friend buys a table each year and invites me. Various restaurants serve their specialty foods which then is your meal. There are baskets to bid on as well as a live auction. I was the highest bidder on a basket that included tickets for many events in Akron ( orchestra art museum, sports events, etc) The program was a vintage style show. Apparently when people donate vintage clothing, they are saved and used for this occasion Hair styles and accessories matched the time period of the clothing. Of course I always think of my daughter (who is heavy into vintage style) when I am there.
The second was a "Dancing with the Stars" with 10 couples from the community. It was a high energy event.
There was no auction or selling of anything at this one, just a nice dinner and the competition. Each couple had taken 8 dancing lessons. Some were obviously new at it, but a few were quite good. What was cool was that they contestants were local people so I know a few of them.

I think you'll be able to treat your family members to fun, Akron-based outings.
for living in the sticks, there is a lot going on in your community! And you are so involved, it's fantastic. :)
Sorry if you get my comment twice, I had an error the first time.
