Annual Mardi Gras "Friendraiser"
Our annual Friendraiser is held at the historic William B. Blades House. This is a ticketed event for our membership and anyone who chooses to join the Historical Society before that day. The house is beautifully decorated for the occasion, the hors d'oeuvres and desserts are delicious, plentiful, and elegantly served, and the evening is filled with cheer. It is a much anticipated event. Creative masks, colorful beads, amazing decorations, great food, and prizes for best bling! Space is limited so reserve early.
