2015 Museum Fundraiser Part 1

Story by Bob Stevens, photos by Useppa Gin

The Useppa Island Historical Society's Fundraiser was just a delightful dinner party for the 79 men and women who attended.  The evening was magical - the black and white motif with all the chairs wrapped in white, with black bows, the black and white tablecloths, and the beautiful silk orchids in the center of the tables set the stage.  Everyone joined with enthusiasm, dressed as they would have been in 1935.  The men were in black tie, many with white dinner jackets, and some in "cruise wear."  The ladies came in beautiful dresses, some with hats, and a few in seashore summertime outfits - baggy pants and tops with square shoulders, all in the spirit of the 30's.
