LALO TO AGAIN PARTICIPATE IN “TASTE OF BOOKS”

On Saturday evening, April 29, 2017, Samuels Public Library in Front Royal, Virginia, will again hold its Annual Fundraiser – and Lalo will be there. Under the direction of Lalo Director and Vice President of Special Events Jennifer Nicholson, Lalo will again be part of the fun and action based upon “Around the World in 80 Days”. Please mark the date on your calendars for this amazing evening of food, books and, thanks to Lalo, good art. And Lalo can be justly proud that it won last year for Best Costumes. According to Jen, “We anticipate an even more colorful table and art this year.”
