THERE at La Tablée du village!
La Tablée du village was held on August 20! Promutuel Insurance Centre-Sud is delighted to have been a partner in the third edition of this headlining agricultural event in the region. We were THERE to support local farmers and businesses. It was a privilege to come together and enjoy a delicious meal made with food grown right here in Québec. In total, 420 guests sampled local specialties in a friendly atmosphere!
After dinner, a live auction was held, and a Robert Roy painting went for $10,500! The money raised will help Okerico fund mental health app for farmers just launched by a local startup company. The live auction was chaired by Nicolas Duvernois, the largest independent producer of spirits in Canada and a panellist on Dans l’œil du dragon.
