Progressive Christmas Dinner
Saturday, December 11, 2010

I'm thrilled to announce that we will be offering the Progressive Christmas Dinner in the historic West Washington Street District again this year!  I've received so many requests to repeat this lovely dinner again this year, so don't wait too long.  We always sell this evening out.

The pictures are from past years.

First, we meet at The English Rose for a wonderful array of starters to get your taste buds ready for the evening.  We will have new hosts this year, but the treats will be of the same quality that we always enjoy at The English Rose.

We then move on to The Oliver Inn for our main course.  Alice and Tom always serve up a fantastic dinner.  Alice is a top-notch cook and Tom always entertains us with great stories of this old historic home.

 

To end the evening, we move on to Cushing Manor, where Susan serves up the most tantalizing desserts.  Don't worry - even if you have already eaten too much, you will not be able to pass up these beautifully served savories. 

No transportation is included this evening.  We first meet at The English Rose, then walk to The Oliver Inn and Cushing Manor.  No walk is more than 1 block.
