Cute and stylish table settings
Well, there you go.
Another huge event that I did not even know existed before this evening. That was a huge advantage that I never realized I had with newspapers I worked for in cities I lived — I always knew about the big events. At times, I wonder where my attention sits (actually, I know the answer to that one — brides and grooms!)
This time it was the Corks and Forks 2010 in Decatur, Illinois.
Now for those of you familiar with the extravaganza, you could wonder how I missed it before this year.
WOW!
I pulled up the parking lot at the Decatur Conference Center and Hotel and could not believe what I was seeing. A sea of cars — and only a little bit of space left open. I’ve never seen an event there that even came close to filling the parking lots.
More than 700 people attending the special fund-raising event for the Decatur Area Arts Council on Thursday night — to sample fare from at least 24 vendors that I counted.
The food and the wine sampling was awesome!
And so were the attendees who were there not only to have fun (and food and fantastic wine) but also to help raising funding for the Arts Council. Cakes, mini-tacos, chocolate-covered strawberries and the best vineyards in the area.
And, of course, the people attending were the best of the best!
Please enjoy a few images from the evenings event (and look for some more to come.)
Thank you Lori and Bert for your invite for the evening!
I had planned to show off a couple of photos, but I think this quick video will do this event better justice.
This is a lo-res version and I’ll have the hi resolution version up online on our Facebook page of www.facebook.com/emcphotography later this weekend.
