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
