How it went

Guests gathered at the Heritage Center on July 18 for the third annual Dinner in the Museum, eating paella cooked in wide steel pans and dining at tables set among the society’s exhibits. The evening ran to tapas, Napa Valley wines, dessert by Lars Kronmark and live flamenco guitar, with a silent auction benefiting the Historical Society. Rhône-style wines were poured from corporate sponsor McKahn Wines.
