The Table Centerpieces
Here are just a few of the lovely centerpieces. There were little bunnies made from washcloths on each table with the arrangement!
The Entertainment
The entertainment was the “Fourmatas” group (did I spell that right? I’m guessing it’s a play on the musical term) from the Sweet Adelines. They serenaded us with
- Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy
- When I Fall in Love
- Ain’t He Sweet!
