This past Spring, I had the pleasure of sitting on The Mayor of Whitby's Annual Fundraising Committee. I was selected to do the event's decor, with the ever-lovely backdrop of Whitby's Trafalgar Castle. The theme of the evening was "A Night Out on the Town"--we wanted guests to feel like they were walking the streets of a lively, downtown festival. Busker-style entertainment, including a flash mob by Luna Dance Company, live art, acrobats and fun photo stations, added to the night's interactive feel.

The night was a wonderful success, with funds raised going to Durham Hospice, as well as towards the revitalization of downtown Whitby. A special thank you to our local vendors Mint Floral Co. and Annie Lane Events & Decor--it's amazing to work with such talented people within our own community!
