The September event, when it finally happened, was a great success!
Saturday, at the initial scheduled start time, the sky opened and it not only rained but thunder and lightning.
We did a quick survey and since most people were available on Sunday, we rescheduled.

Sunday was gorgeous weather! Behind the storm front, came lower temperatures and less humidity, which made it very pleasant to be outside. We washed and scrubbed the tables then set them into place. It took a team of us to blow up balloons. Next time, we are letting the professionals do it. White it was fun doing it, we could all see how it would be a tiring chore at every event.

After so many moving parts, the hour was finally upon us.

6:30 the first guests arrive to begin the table set up. They are excited and having a lot of fun setting their tables.
Carved pineapples,candelabra, lanterns, candles in glass jars and a tree full of white twinkle lights set the stage for a magical evening.

People arrived as strangers and left as friends.
The light during twilight was an amazing blue. You can see it in the sky in some of the photos.

After it got dark, each table got a box of sparklers.
Everyone lit their sparkler at different times and it was so much fun!

You could see everyone having a great time.
We talked, exchanged information, numbers and so many names!
It was great to meet the names we have been corresponding with in e-mail.

NEXT EVENT: Saturday, October 27, 5:30-7:30~8.00 Table set up begins at 5PM
Location not yet determined.

FAQ:
Why 5:30PM?
The events center around the time of sunset. We schedule the event to begin an hour before sunset, move through twilight into night. This is why we schedule them on Saturday; so there is time to rest on Sunday.

Much to our dismay, We have to postpone this evenings event until tomorrow evening;
Sunday, 9/9; from 7-9 PM.
Tables will be available for set up at 6:30.

Location is 968 Bromley Road, Charlotte, NC 28207
The house is located at the corner of Morehead and Bromley, just between the Kings Road farmers market and Ronald McDonald House.
Look for the white balloons marking the home on the left of Morehead and parking on the right of Morehead.

We have a few seats still available and now with wonderful weather tomorrow, you may know someone who would like to attend.

Thank you all so much for your patience and understanding.
As I write this, the storm outside has begun!

As Saturdays event draws near, I find myself looking at the weather forecast and wondering just how fast that front will work through the area on Saturday.

I believe, the system will pass through and come event set-up time at 6:30 -7 our skies will be clear, the temperature dropping a bit, and best of all, humidity lowered.

While we have no control over what happens with the weather, we will need to watch and see what happens.

There are options if we do get rained out.
Option 1:
Everyone’s ticket will be honored at the October 27th event. Tickets will be mailed to those who have paid.

Option 2:
What about holding the event on Sunday the 9th of September? Same time and place.
Please let me know your availability and thoughts on this Sunday.

Option 3:
Refunding ticket prices. While everyone signed on for a great event, if Sunday or October does not fit your schedule, we will be glad to refund your ticket price.
