With the introductions made and the good info about solar homes and environmentally-conscious building digesting, it was time to party. As you can see from the photo below, Craig Stevens and I were certainly ready!
Grayson Park residents and their guests, other visitors, and many REALTORs from the area gathered around the pool for food, drink, music, and conviviality.
Middle of the Island, the always-popular catering company, provided the food. It was tasty!
We even had a visit from one of Leland's finest, checking up on the music and the commotion.
