The TACA team is taking the weather guesser’s Friday damp forecast to heart and has just sent the following email:
“The TACA Lexus Party on the Green has a roof! Rain or shine, we will celebrate the kick-off of summer this Friday, May 8, at 7:00 p.m. on the first floor and tented parking lot of Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek. We have 21 – yes, that 21! – chefs whose culinary expertise will be ours for the tasting as they compete for the coveted Golden Skillet. Tickets are still available, so bring your friends to enjoy the culinary creations of our celebrity chefs.
“If you haven’t purchased your chance tickets to win the 2015 Lexus RC 350, don’t miss out – there are still a few spots left!”
Translation: The Mansion is going to become a total party venue with the refreshed ballroom, The Promenade, Dining Room and the rest of the ground level. They’ll also be “tenting the parking lot and there will be marquee tents connecting the tent to the restaurant entrance.”
Back in 2011, the POG was held indoors and it became rather legendary with Caroline Rose Hunt, then Mansion GM Duncan Graham and Charlene Howell in a banquet in the main dining room, chefs cooking up all types of goodies in The Promenade, the wine pull in the ballroom, etc. There was even talk that some folks hid out in the wine cellar. But that was just an Urban Myth…or, was it?
