For the longest time, I have wanted to talk about what goes into the production of a gown. One dress, start to finish.

One was a table d'hôte, where they featured pumpkin prepared several different ways and served pumpkin cocktails for hotel guests.  This event was offered in the hotel's gorgeous outdoor Lupita Lounge with live music and more bed-like furniture.
