2022 GATSBY GALA
The fabulous Hotel Retlaw was the setting once again for our annual Gatsby fundraiser gala on September 23. Guests went all out for this 1920s-themed party, arriving in their best ’20s attire and ready to enjoy the photo booth, silent auction, wine pull, Fond du Lac’s own Lighthouse Big Band, and a delicious strolling dinner catered by the Hotel Retlaw. The Historical Society’s volunteer Curator Committee displayed “A Vision in Black,” made up of beautiful black clothing and accessories; the exhibit included the rather “colorful” history of black fashion! All proceeds support the Fond du Lac County Historical Society’s mission: to connect people to local history by inspiring passion, preservation, exploration, and fun. Enjoy the photos, and make plans to be part of the fun next year!
