Annual Bastille Day Fete, 4:30 PM, Saturday, July 10, 2010

Stinson-Erdman Home – 6920 SW Windemere Loop 

Menu

Please join the WFSO’s annual Bastille Day Fete with “affordable” French wine and a casual dinner in the backyard of the Erdman/Stinson home.  Blue, red and white are the colors to wear.  Blue and red are the colors of Paris and white is the color of royalty.  For those of you with “chicken hats”- (and you know who you are), it’s the time to bring them out, dust them off and don them to show your allegiance to the cause – vive la France! 

Bastille Day – officially July 14th  - marks the end of the French monarchy and the beginning of the French Revolution in 1789.    In 1848 the motto “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity” was reinstated and in 1880 Bastille Day was proclaimed a French national holiday.   In France, most folks take Bastille Eve off and celebrate with festive balls and brilliant displays of fireworks – we will celebrate with tasty food and wine.

Price:   $70.00 members / $75.00 non-members

Limit:   24

RSVP by July 5th
