Samuel Lynne Gallery was filled Tuesday night for the Day At The Races committee’s kick-off party. Checking out the works on the walls and each other were more than 100 folks like Honorary Chair Elizabeth Knowles, Honorary Emeritus Co-Chairs Doris Jacob’s and Teffy Jacobs, Lee Bailey on her way to the Aware Affair patron party, John Clutts and Sami Arslanlar, Ellen Winspear, Michael Faircloth, Phillip Tevis, Kim Hext back from Bangkok and Turtle Creek Conservancy board members Peter Dauterman, Leigh Danley, Reanae Clark and Carlos Gonzalez on his way with wife Kyra Gonzalez to the Mavs game again the Lakers.
To rally the troops for the Turtle Creek Conservancy fundraiser, TCC President Tiffany Divis revealed that there would be a live auction at the event taking place on Saturday, May 7.
One of the favorites that had even the most world traveling vets raise their eyebrows and interest was the “Seven Nights at Casa Villa Blanca in San Miguel de Allende.” Considered to be one of Mexico’s most charming towns with its 17th century La Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel overlooking the Plaza Allende, the cobblestone streets and various markets and museums. Perhaps that why so many American expats have settled there.
The luxury package will provide a fabulous five-story Casa Villa Blanca that could easily be mistaken as a boutique hotel with four separate suites (two king, two queen) featuring their own more baths and outdoor patios. In addition to the six bathrooms in the residence, the home is ideal for entertaining. Whether it’s settling back on the third level terrace to take in the sights of the historic district and cooking on the new top-of-the-line outdoor kitchen, enjoying a quiet evening and cooking up a supper with the wood-burning pizza/bread oven. The house even has an underground “The Cave Bar” that’s ideal for evenings when a beautiful sunset is highlight by a class of wine by the outdoor fireplace and the stone fountain.
Unless the winners of the package want to visit some of the area vineyards, there will be no need for a car since the best of San Miguel is within a stroll.
Too good to be true. Not even you’re winning bidder at Day At The Races.
