Cocktail Party – Welcome to One & All

The Hartsville Country Club hosted the annual National Open cocktail party. It was well attended and it was enjoyable to see the usual attendees along with some new faces. The Hostess Committee made really adorable centerpieces with candles and cut-out Labradors. The food was great with a fab salad bar and mashed potatoes with all the toppings. There was pork and beef freshly carved and a dessert bar. It was a very lovely evening and set the tone for the week to come!
