Tony Bennett may have re-opened the Township on Thursday night, but the official grand re-opening gala/80th birthday party was on Friday night and it was wonderful. We go to quite a few of these type events, but this one was definitely one of the absolute best! We arrived to a red carpet entrance and a reception/silent auction in the lobby. Then, it was into the auditorium itself, which was decorated beautifully, for a sit down dinner (garden salad, bacon wrapped filet, chicken breast, rice, summer veggies and --my favorite -- polenta cakes followed by a mousse cup dessert) that was deliciously enjoyed while The Headliners sang a variety of songs from the main stage.
After dinner was a brief presentation that included a history of the theater and all of the events that had once been held there. And, then, dancing!!! The Headliners played wonderful dance tunes and thankfully, Mr. Rick is a very patient dance partner for my two left feet! We had the best time!!
