RESS COLUMBUS — All were puttin' on the ritz last Saturday night in Columbus.
More than 200 people gathered at the Stafford Opera House in Columbus for 'The Great Gatsby' dinner theater in celebration of Valentine's Day and Columbus' Bicentennial.
It was a juice joint for dinner as, despite the prohibition of the 20s, giggle water, alcohol, was available to the masses. There was noodle juice for the teetotalers. The party was hosted by the Columbus Chamber of Commerce.
The night was full of laughs and smiles with a silent auction, tasty food, delectable desserts, and a great show.
The Fayette County Community Theatre put on an encore performance of an adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic, The Great Gatsby. The Columbus Chamber Director Shelley Janik said 'Thanks to the Fayette County Community theater for putting on such an awesome encore performance. Thanks to everyone who attended, volunteered, and sponsored this Bicentennial event, it turned out amazing!' The whole event was the Bee’s Knees.
