Enchanted April ~ This year’s theme!
The lure of Italy is hard to resist. Elizabeth von Arnim’s 1922 novel tells the tale of four dissimilar women who travel to a secluded coastal castle in Italy. Magic ensues... Adapted into a beautiful and charming film in 1992. Enjoy exploring the roaring twenties, continental travel, the seaside and Italy with this fun and evocative theme!

A Charmed View- A Collaborative Art Project
With your tickets you’ll receive a castle tower charm and imagery to inspire a work of art. Anything goes here- jewelry, mixed media, etc. as long as this year’s theme is included in your artwork. Pieces are collected Friday through Saturday noon and displayed en masse to make one large art showing, unveiled Saturday evening. A silent auction benefits Susan G. Koman for the Cure.
Auction runs Saturday night-Sunday noon; Sunday bidding open to all
