Guests mingled and munched over specialty drinks and dishes like sliders and grilled ham & cheese with a gorgeous spread of delectable miniature desserts afterward.
Entertainment included a live performance by the Blue Tips Rhythm Revue and guests could partake in a silent auction upstairs. The mezzanine boasted gambling tables fit for the highest rollers.
