Hors d’oeuvres and musicOne of the biggest attractions is the variety and quality of the appetizers. Mike DiMartino, the award-winning chef/owner of the Landmark Inn will again prepare his creative selection of hors d’oeuvres.
And by popular demand, Richard Wiggins, a nightclub-style singer/pianist, returns to provide the musical entertainment for the evening.
