Guests had been greeted by buddies, neighbors, and fellow library patrons dressed each formally and in artistic costumes clearly able to have a really merry celebration! Although there have been a number of Queen of Hearts in attendance, not one commanded “Off with their heads!” as they had been catered to by the gracious employees of Mine Oyster and Carousel Music Theater’s gifted forged, all dressed and in-character. You know you’ll have enjoyable when Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum usher you into your parking spot.
