The Tallman Hotel announces its 2008 dinner-event series

Join us for a gourmet three-course dinner with wine in the hotel dining room followed by an informal concert and dialogue with the artist in the adjacent Riffe's Meeting House. A social hour in the parlor beginning at 5:30 will enable you to meet the artists and other guests. Dinner will be served at 6:15 followed by the concert at 7:30.

10% of the proceeds of this series will be donated to the Soper-Reese Community Theatre Fund for the creation of a state of the art performing arts center in Lakeport.
