Our biggest recep­tion yet with over 200 in atten­dance. The space has never looked bet­ter. Thanks to Oak Hill Iron and the Burke County arts com­mu­nity for mak­ing it pos­si­ble. With­out the artists and patrons it’s just a big empty room. Also lots of thanks to Moun­tain Bur­rito, Sour Grapes Wine Dis­tri­b­u­tion, Graciela’s Cakes and the Moolah Tem­ple $tringband.
