Roaring ’20’s Speakeasy Ball
On January 14th our beautiful ballroom will be transformed into a prohibition era speakeasy! In the 1920s, speakeasies were a place where, during Prohibition, alcoholic beverages were illegally sold and consumed in secret. In addition to drinking, patrons would eat, socialize, and dance to jazz music. While we will not be selling alcohol, we sure will be socializing, eating, dancing, and generally embodying the roaring '20s vibe! The lights will be dim, the dancing will be the bee’s knees and there are sure to be some entertaining surprises as the night goes on. Just like the speakeasies of old, you [...]
