A wonderful BOTAR tradition, Tablescapes, will return to Our Town on September 18th and 19th. The September 19th luncheon has already sold-out and tickets to the September 18th Preview Party are still available. The 2012 Tablescapeswill feature 40 fabulous designers who will create 40 different tablescapes at the American Royal’s Grand Hall. Michael Savage, local artist; has created a one-of-a-kind design for an American Royal ornament that will be sold at the event.

Co-chairmen Kim Aliber and Becky Herring and their committee have been hard at work creating an out-of-this-world event. Becky adds, “While the luncheon is sold out, tickets to thePreview Party are still available up until the event. We will be having informal modeling by Alaskan Fur, an original Michael Savage ornament created exclusively for Tablescapes,delicious food and drink, complimentary valet parking, and of course lots and lots of wonderful and unique shopping. In fact, you might be able to check off most of those on your holiday gift list in one day!”
