Feast and Festivities Presents Dead Silent: Florence of Moravia

It’s 1927 and local radio personality Nevelle Haspin invites you to the broadcast of a gala reception for silent film diva Lorraine Bowes who is making a film portraying hometown hero and notorious WWI spy Florence Goode a.k.a. Hata Mahma. Joining Lorraine will be her leading man, if he’s sober, Roland DeHay, and Lorraine’s agent, Harold “Hawk” Toohey. Arriving without an invitation is nationally syndicated gossip columnist Helena Handbasquet. Be careful. These celebrities autograph with poisoned pens.

Step into the glittering world of 1927! Guests are encouraged to dress as if we are in the height of the Jazz Age. Think Art Deco elegance, roaring-twenties glamour, and high society intrigue. Feel free to go all out or keep it simple with period-inspired touches. Remember, it’s Friday the 13th on Valentine’s Day Weekend!
