from
6:30 to 8:30
At Milly's Tavern
And be part of HISTORY
forever....
I have spend many hours researching this particular day in
history. I have found many exciting facts about this day and
decided it needed to be celebrated. What better place to celebrate
then at Milly's Tavern the home of the Milly's Mauranders. They are
famous you know !!
In your "Will Attend" logs please post something you found and want
to celebrate that happened on this day in history. I will have a
prize for the first one that lists the one that really peaked my
interest. (This will be disclosed at the event and not
sooner.)
The sealed envelope was dropped in the mail box and will not be
delivered to Milly's until that night. Good Luck. Yes, it will be a
real prize, Not a large TB you gotta get rid of. And it won't be a
King's Hat (unless the KING of FOOLS wants to dethrown
himself.
PLEASE, PLEASE, list how
many will be attending so I can let Milly's know so they have
enough staff on hand for us. Thanks
