“Escape…to the Caribbean” and help the Rappahannock Food Pantry. This year’s benefit — the first since the pandemic — channels tropical vibes with beach-themed food, drinks and music. No plane trip required: Chuck and Dee Akre will host the event at Mount Prospect, their Washington property.

Tickets are $100 per person and can be purchased online at www. rappahannockpantry.org or by calling 540-987-5090.
