Proceeds from this evening of elegance will benefit the association's scholarship fund.

Guests will be treated to hors d'oeuvres, fine wines and an assortment of decadent desserts.

This year’s extravaganza will be held at Rosedale the home of Mr. and Mrs. Gene Imes. A part of the annual Pilgrimage, Rosedale is considered one of the finest examples of Italianate architecture in Mississippi. Often the subject of articles and reviews, the home features the nation's largest furniture collection by American craftsman John Henry Belter.
