Join the Fun at Masquerade by Coming in Costume!
Saturday • April 18, 2009 • 6:00 PM
The Grand Ballroom at Milford Town Hall • 52 Main Street • Milford, MA
While costumes are not required and masques will be sold at the event to benefit the Medical Center’s Hospice Services, we encourage guests to indulge in this unique opportunity to go beyond black tie and really dress up… in costume! If you don’t have a period ball gown or waistcoat hanging in your closet, here are some wonderful resources around New England, online and throughout the U.S. (who are happy to ship to you). Some costumes are for rent, others for sale.
We suggest any elegant period attire… Victorian, Venetian, French Regency… it’s Masquerade and you are royalty… have fun! There will be wonderful prizes for the best costumes of the evening!
