DCA Meadowlands

Last week I was very happy to attend the networking event at The Darien Community Center hosted by Roe and Bill of Festivities Catering. Festivities is the exclusive caterer at The DCA. Over 300 people attended. It was fabulous to see so many dear friends but to meet new colleagues as well. A big congratulations to the team at Festivities for a very successful event.

I snapped a few photo's with my blackberry but must admit I did not get very many great shots. I will post the professional images when they are available.

This was a "must show" for me. DD Nickel was sporting this great vintage bag. It had a loop on the back of it that she wore on her wrist. I was dying over it !!

Gotham Hall

[gorgeous previous event at Gotham - courtesy of Gotham Hall Website ]

Last night I attended a great event at Gotham Hall. The theme of the event was " The Four Seasons". I very quickly bumped into Matthew Wagner, Dotty and Geoff Boka

Who were enjoying all of the inspiring food presentations. The food for the evening was provided by Thomas Preti Caterers and Great Performances.
One of my favorite presentations was the "Winter Station" designed by Thomas Preti. This station featured among many other items a Savory Pop Tart toasted in Retro Style Toasters for each guest. My photography does not do it any justice. It was great and then right next to it was an individual portion of veal meatloaf on a bed of mashed potatoes- yum!

These Savory Popsicles by Thomas Preti were adorable Fun Sips by Great Performances

Ron Ben-Israel is always a delight, and was kind enough to share a photo moment !

The Four Seasons theme was presented in the food stations as well as all decor including lighting. The walls were lit in the rotating themes. During one of the last winter scenes it also started snowing - A great event!

[ again, not a great photo, but if you look closely you can see the Winter Scene depicted over the entire wall- it felt almost like being in a snow globe]

Congratulations to Gotham Hall- it was a great event .
