Let’s fon-DO this silent auction right

Have the urge to make a bid on anything from a nice painting to a gift certificate while sampling some of the finest fondue from The Melting Pot? You’ll get your chance this Friday night when the Baton Rouge Gallery holds its annual Silent Night Auction and Exhibition. Along with the art and additional food from Tsunami and Pinetta’s, the Michael Foster Project will be providing the music on the back patio. 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m.
