In addition to the performance, a silent auction will be held, including private winery dinners and tours, getaway packages at the Napa River Inn, Meadowood, the Ahwahnee Lodge and the Hong Kong Club in Hong Kong. The many other exciting packages also include magnums of exclusive wine from Harlan Estates, Long Meadow Ranch, Shafer, Cosentino, Elise, St. Clement, and Stag's Leap Wine Cellars.

As part of the evening's events, the Humane Society of Napa County will honor Josh Hippauf, the young Napa Valley man who was injured in an auto accident last year while avoiding a cat that crossed in front of his car. Hippauf was struck by another auto and lost his leg as a result of his successful efforts to save the animal.

The Humane Society will be evicted from its current shelter on lmola Avenue this summer to make room for the Napa River Flood Control Project. The funds raised at this benefit performance will help relocate and care for Napa's homeless dogs, cats and bunnies.

The Humane Society of Napa County was founded in 1973 by a group of community animal lovers to rescue and save the lives of the hundreds of homeless animals taken in annually by Napa County Animal Control Services. The organization is a non-profit organization, is not funded by any government entity and exists solely on membership dues, donations, bequests and fundraising activities.

The group provides a variety of services, including programs to adopt unwanted, abused and neglected animals into safe, loving homes; spay/neuter clinics; veterinary services and medical services for sick and injured animals at the adoption center; community lost and found services; foster homes for orphaned, newborn animals; and programs for responsible pet ownership through humane education.

Originally built in 1884 and designated a National Registry Historic Landmark, the Napa Mill Project is the largest historic redevelopment undertaking in the history of Napa. In addition to the Napa River Inn, the Napa Mill Project and will house a variety of restaurants, Epicurean food markets, boutique shops, a farmer's market, an arts and crafts market, plus an ongoing schedule of special events, festivals and river activities.
