New Years 2010

 

Our first New Years dance Dec 2005 was like everyone else's New Years dance, but with four differences.  It was less money than anyone else's dance, it was decorated better, had much better music, and we used the fabulous James Taylor version of Auld Lang Syne.

 

Our 2nd New Years dance Dec 2006 was titled "Elegance" and had our very first three entree meal, and had cloth chair covers and was more lavishly decorated.

 

Our 3rd New Years dance Dec 2007 was our "Pink Panther" theme, and many people said to us, "how can you beat that next year"!

 

Our 4th New Years dance Dec 2008 was our first in our "Cruise Ship" themes and we partied onboard the "Caribbean Queen", and again people wondered how we could beat that!

 

Well this New Years a lot of people had one word to describe our event - "Magical"

 

Here's a table setting!  Each wine glass had a unique mask already, each goblet had a light inside and two colored glow sticks.  Each table had a totally unique (and individually named) Voodoo Lady that we gave away.  This wall is the side of the Cruise Ship "Caribbean Queen"  You disembark from the ship to enter the streets of Mardi Gras in French Quarters!

 

 

 

Here's a view of the side wall  showing our French Quarter theme, street light & more Voodoo Ladies.

 

 

 

Check this video out of the hall with lights off (sorry about the video quality-we really need a new camera)

 

 

To see what all the fun was about go HERE!  NOW includes, Stage Pictures, Dance Pictures, Voodoo Lady pictures & more!
