The Harbourside Ballroom at the Longboat Key Club looked a little more groovy than usual on Jan. 28.Â
Hosted by The Paradise Center, the Peace, Love & Paradise evening of dinner and dancing brought peace signs, tie dye and all the other '60s styles back.Â
Paintings, jewelry, figurines and many other items were up for bidding in the silent auction, while the live auction included an island getaway, dinner for six, and a cruise.Â
