PHOTOS: Last Look at Needham's Adirondack Chairs

More than 40 unique public art pieces will be auctioned off this Saturday to benefit town beautification projects and high school scholarships.

Last spring, a group of Needham business owners got together and decided to launch a new project designed to bring visitors to the downtown area. Their plan: To partner Needham businesses and artists to create dozens of unique pieces that could be viewed around town throughout the summer.

The "A Chair To Remember" project was a huge success, as more than 40 chairs were completed and put on display all over Needham.

Now, local residents have the opportunity to bring one or a few of those chairs home during a special event on Saturday, Sept. 29. Held from 6-9 p.m. in the second-floor Powers Hall inside Needham Town Hall, the event will feature music, refreshments and silent and live auctions. Along with the chairs, items such as Celtics tickets, a ride to school in a Needham Police cruiser and gift certificates will be auctioned off.
