While the drive was not far for most folks attending the Norman Rockwell Museum’s Road Trip gala in Stockbridge on Saturday, June 25, the scene evoked a full United States site-seeing tour, including dining options from each major region of the country. The evening also featured fun and games — a wine toss, BINGO, and musical chairs — a silent auction and a live wine auction, and music from the Boogaloo Swamis. Profits raised from the gala will go toward funding the Museum’s traveling exhibits, which have so far visited 40 states.
