A fine venue for a spring gala

The Port Washington Historical Society’s spring gala brought a crowd to Mercantile Plaza in downtown Port on Tuesday, May 6, and those attending were able to enjoy the unique atmosphere with plenty of art on the walls. Clockwise from top photo: The venue created a cozy but spacious place for 100 people, among them (from left) Kathy Bink, Carol O’Mara, Maggie Fassett and Sue Didier. Enjoying the company were (from left) Grace and Marc Eernisse, Mary Becker and Trish Poull. Historical Society leaders were, of course, in attendance and included (from left) Nancy Holley, a member of the Society’s board of directors and past president; Treasurer Kevin Grady; former treasurer George Bichler and President Barb Joosse.    Photos by Sam Arendt
