The first ever Crofton Sweethearts Ball took place on Saturday evening at the Blue Dolphin in Crofton. The committee worked long and hard, assembling a line-up of entertainers, organizing a silent auction and working with the restaurant staff to plan a fabulous dinner. But you know what they say about the best-laid plans of mice and men...
Not far from the Blue Dolphin, 600 acres were burning in a four-alarm brush fire, with winds gusting at 50-60 mph all day. The area lost power, and dinner was cancelled. The guests, who had paid $150/couple to benefit the Crofton Regional Community Center (CRCC), were not deterred, however.
The restaurant's generator had enough juice for the D.J. to do his thing and everyone made the best of the situation with lots of dancing, drinking, networking, and laughing.
It wasn't the evening they planned, but this was a night Crofton will never forget.
Congratulations to the CRCC for a successful fundraiser and to the Blue Dolphin for quickly changing gears and substituting cold desserts and hor d'oevres for the planned meal. For pictures taken at the event, visit the CRCC Facebook page.
