February 15, 2013 - A VIP SEWE event, the Preview Gala and Auction offered folks a glimpse of the works that will be featured all weekend long. Held Thursday, Valentine’s Day, in the Charleston Place Ballroom, VIPs broke out their very best in formal wear for the black-tie event. The gala featured an open bar and hors d’oeuvres and was topped off by the live auction. And as in past years, there were a few surprise guests.
