That's just a taste of what's up for auction Thursday night at the Scout & Molly's Bike MS cocktail party at the Pavilions at Angus Barn.

Lisa Disbrow, who owns Scout & Molly's, is the throwing the bash to help raise money for multiple sclerosis. As many regular customers to the boutique may know, Lisa was diagnosed with MS last year and is passionate about raising money to help find a cure. (More on this later in September. We're writing a story about Lisa's journey and her fight to help find a cure.) And part of that effort includes spending the last six months training and fundraising for the Bike MS race in New Bern Sept. 12-13.

So far, she and the Scout & Molly's team have raised more than $21,000, and they're hoping to raise even more Thursday. Tickets are $100. And it looks as if they've secured some pretty nice auction items. In addition to the chance to play with Francis and Rutherford, you can bid on a Slane & Slane necklace from Elaine Miller, Judith Leiber eyewear from The Spectacle or a piece of jewelry from Reliable Loan.

The party gets started at 7 p.m. Cocktail attire is encouraged, especially for the ladies, because, as Lisa explained, we don't get enough chances to dress up in a pretty dress.
