Glitter, Gatsby and Gangsters: A Garden Party

   Come for the party with simplicity of heart for a summer evening to remember. The date is
June 15, 2013.

   The Calaveras Arts Council brings back the romance of an era. Glamour was in, prosperity was abounding, and people enjoyed life like never before.

   Glitter, Gatsby and Gangsters garden party, dinner dance, and silent and live auction come to you in Mokelumne Hill at the historic Hotel Leger.

   You will travel back in time sauntering the outdoor gardens, meandering in the old jail, now a divine wine cellar, and dance to the Speakeasy Orchestra in the ballroom.

   The Speakeasy Band will play 1920 and 1930 music, Chef Chuck Swisher prepares a delicious 3 course dinner with dessert, and Mindy Bach will draw you in during the silent and live auctions.

   A no-host bar will have all the regular libations at your disposal, but a Gatsby signature drink will be served in your very own Gatsby glass.

   It will help illuminate the period.  Have your photo taken aside one of the server vintage cars on display.

    The garden tables will take you to Gatsby lore at only $85 each.  Extend your experience and book a room at the hotel so you can linger longer in the Gatsby era.

   Flapper, Gatsby and Gangster costumed clientele compete for the best-costume prize, so put on those Garden or Ragtime best and join us for the biggest party of the summer.

   Proceeds from this event benefit the Calaveras County Arts Council and their programs such as Arts in Education, the Ovations Series, and free Music in the Parks.

   The Arts Council serves to support, nourish and awaken the arts in our community.

   Tickets are $85 per person, and are expected to sell out, since seating is limited.

   For information and reservations, please visit the Arts Council wegbsite, www.calaverasarts.org or phone the Arts Council at 209-754-1774.
