A mystery to solve. Wines to experience. Food pairings to enjoy. Games to play. Auction items to win. The Fleet Science Center annual fundraiser connected everyone to the power of science. Guests put on their detective’s hats and enjoyed solving the Mystery at the Museum at this gala event featuring an elegant wine-paired dinner and the opportunity to explore the exhibits. The evening benefitted the Fleet’s ongoing education and community initiatives. Among the guests in attendance were Darcy Kownacki, Maxwell Agha, Charles Bergan, Michael Manhard, John Kownacki, Don Vaughn, Todd Gloria, and Alyce Vessey.
