Limelight Annapolis | Sept 2009
On June 23rd, over 800 guests celebrated the

The lavish party’s theme was “Tip Your Hat” and patrons did exactly that, wearing creative caps, all vying for a $500 “Best Hat” prize. Over 38 Best Of food and drink stations, live music, dancing, and a silent auction rounded out the best party in town, which included an awards ceremony.
