Pinewood movie studio magic for 21 good causes

The Fayette Winter Gala 2017 held Jan. 7 in Soundstage 17 “behind the fence” at Pinewood Atlanta Studios in Fayetteville was a spectacle befitting the “Enchanted Forest” theme for the large production designed to benefit local and regional nonprofit organizations. Joining in the festivities, endless guests donned superhero gear to have their photo taken. Many of the estimated 100 volunteers were adorned as woodland creatures while others, many of whom represented vendor companies at Pinewood, made the evening unforgettable for the nearly 800 who attended the premier event. In all, more than $300,000 was raised for 21 nonprofits during an evening of food, music and entertainment.
