Thursday night’s 8th annual Piccadilly in Branson was a huge success once again! 500+ ladies came out for a Night at Tiffany’s; a play on Breakfast at Tiffany’s at Chateau on the Lake. Women were dressed in their black dresses, pearls, tiaras and gloves. Some of us even went the extra mile to have the cigarette holders (even though I don’t smoke) it was fun to pretend for the night.
Ladies of all ages were waited on by “Mafia” men. Mafia men were able to get our complimentary wine for us, collect our prizes, and ensured we all played by the rules.
During the event there was laughter heard throughout the room and especially at our table. Dinner was a chicken breast in a yummy sauce (wish I had the recipe), mashed potatoes, and mixed veggies. Dessert was a choice of Apple cake or Chocolate cake.
With your admission your received two drink tickets and could either pay for a paddle for the auction or throw quarters in the bowl on the table. Our table was ALL in with paddles and several items were won throughout the night. Just when I was getting discouraged they called my number!!!! I won a big ticket item. A 750 value at Chateau on the Lake in the Presidential suite with chocolate covered strawberries and a $50 meal card. I can hardly wait to have a fun-filled evening at this beautiful hotel that overlooks Table Rock Lake.
The flip side of that is this property is actually built on property that my great-grandparents (The Goodalls) used to own years ago before Table Rock was even in existence and it was the White River. I grew up less than a mile from this property. All in all it was a fun filled auction with over 300 items in addition to a silent auction with the proceeds going to the DBBBA (Downtown Better Business Bureau Association). This event is one I try never to miss and already have it marked on my calendar for next year!
