The Larkin Gala is a fundraiser to support rebuilding the Catherine Larkin Memorial Practice Cottage on the Essex North Shore Agricultural & Technical School campus. Students are involved in every aspect of the design and build process. All funds for the Larkin Cottage will be raised through private donations. The newly renovated cottage will include an agricultural museum, learning center, and community function space.

The gala will take place under a tent on the lawn in front of Smith Hall, and will feature music, hors d’oeuvres, a live and a silent auction, and a farm-to-table meal prepared by Essex Tech culinary students. The event will also include a cash beer and wine bar.

We will also present a Larkin Lifetime Achievement Award to a community member who has demonstrated great success in the local agricultural industry.
