Steppin’ Out for the TSA

4:16 pm in Events

Last weekend was The Toledo School for the Arts annual “Steppin’ Out” fundraiser. We met up with friends and met some new ones at this fun event… with a shoe theme. There was a mini “red carpet” at the entrance, just for shoes worn by attendees.

The TSA students provided entertainment for the evening, while guests dined, bid on auction items…

… and drank! Congrats to everyone involved. The TSA raised over $70,000 in ONE NIGHT!

Havana Party

2:08 pm in Events,Old West End

This weekend was the much-loved Havana Party thrown each year by our friends, M & K, in The Old West End.

Guests were dressed to the nines!

M & K’s attic is one of my favorite ever! Complete with a full bar, DJ booth, pool table, and even a cute little bathroom! Party revelers enjoyed Cuban cocktails and cigars upstairs…

… and an amazing spread of Latin h’ordeurves on the first floor.

The music was, of course, all Cuban. Spicy, spicy!

And no Havana-themed party would be complete without a few revolutionaries in attendance! Looking forward to the same time next year…

Thanks to A. Dow for some of the fantastic photos above.
