    A Peek into the Fantasy Table Charity Event

    ByMary Crozier June 25, 2025June 25, 2025

    Each year, the talented Judith Baigent King—teaching chef, food writer, and author—spearheads the Fantasy Table event, an extraordinary fundraiser that provides educational scholarships for the dedicated staff at our mountain country club. It’s a massive undertaking, which makes it nearly impossible to say no when Judith asks you to host a table! What sets this…

    A Meaningful Memorial Day: Tablescapes, Decor and Delicious Inspiration

    ByMary Crozier May 21, 2025May 21, 2025

    Memorial Day is just around the corner! This holiday conjures up so many beginning-of-summer memories for me.
