Chesny's Keswick Manor
Located at 1800 Center Avenue, Bay City
Bay Arts Council, in association with Chesny's Keswick Manor, presents the 2nd annual
"Bohemian Rhapsody" fund-raiser.
This mystical evening will be held on Fat Tuesday,
February 24th at
Chesny's Keswick Manor, 1800 Center Avenue in Bay City.
Festivities will
begin at 6:00 p.m. and will continue until approximately 9:30 p.m. Tickets
are $50 per person.
Party goers will be greeted by musical minstrels along with a wide array
of beverages and delicacies to satisfy any pallet and adventurous taste.
There will be New Orleans inspired hors d'oeuvres served all evening
including Cajun Ravioli and Chicken and Andouille Sausage Skewers created by
featured chef Hermann Schwaiger of Petit 4 Catering.
Ideal Party Store will
host a wine and beer tasting; the beer will feature those brewed in Michigan
and the wine will be chosen from Ideal's choice selections. Beer and wine
will also be available to order with a percentage of the proceeds going
back to the Bay Arts Council.
Executive Director for Bay Arts Council, Joy Butler, said the committee
for the event decided to keep the same theme from last year because of the
overwhelmingly positive response.
Butler said, "It's a little more mysterious and definitely more fun then just going
to a Mardi Gras type celebration and bringing home some beads."
Butler used tarot card and horoscope readings as some examples that will
add to the mystique of the evening. There will be a $5 donation for each of
these "experiences".
The event is meant to raise funds for some of the programs put on by the
Bay Arts Council through the year such as "Wednesdays in the Park" and the
"Young People Summer Series".
Due to the success of last year's event the
Bay Arts Council is planning on even more revelers this year.
