The history of the reclamation and restoration of Galveston Island's Grand 1894 Opera House is a true star in the hat of historic preservation.
Under the leadership of executive director Maureen Patton, this fine Galveston architectural bookmark has been hosting great national and international talent for over thirty years.
Of course the miracle is that funds have been raised every year to supplement ticket sales so that the Grand has managed to stay in the black.
One of the great events of each year is called GRAND GATHERINGS: A SERIES OF CULINARY EVENTS.
This year they begin Saturday, June 5th, when Houston TV weatherman, Frank Billingsly and Kevin Gillard join Stephen and Patricia Rennick of the famous Mosquito Cafe to host an evening for thirty guests.
If you're on the Island or plan to be there, here's a great way to have a fine evening and support the arts where The Arts first began in Texas.
The schedule of events follows....

Bill,
Sounds like a wonderful evening and the menu looks scrumptious.
Jo
Now that looks like a fun event (and right up your ally) Let us know your favorite dishes you try(and maybe a recipe or two?)

Great to hear from you both. These things are so much fun. We won't be making the 6 hour trip from Dallas to Galveston this year. It's become such a hassle since we no longer have a home there, and I totally refuse to impose on friends by staying with them.
