Event details
We will once again be at the gorgeous Camp Hoffman in South Kingstown RI. If possible, please carpool as onsite parking is limited. We will have our shuttle service again this year for overflow parking at West Kingston elementary school just down the road.
Dayboard will be pre-registered only
Populace is asked to please bring a dessert to share during the ball.
Lord Maurin Lessault is planning dance sets that will entice both the most experienced and novice dancer. There will be dance instruction throughout the day to familiarize attendees with the dances to be performed at the ball.
