That evening will be a feast orchestrated by the renowned team of Baron Juan Santiago and Dame Rose de la Mans. The menu is Magically Delicious and will be posted on the Facebook Event Page soon.

A Silent Auction will happen during the day with amazing items such as a Custom Silk Pennant by Katherine Grym; a Glorious Necklace made by Francisco de Salamanca; and Wonderful Woven Trim by Theiadora Groves. Stay for the feast and partake in a special live auction.
