Enjoy your weekend!

Love was in the air Saturday night at the Perthshire in Perth N.Y.  for their dinner & dancing Valentines event.  The large luxurious waterfront dining room quickly filled with couples ready to enjoy a delicious roast beef & chicken dinner.

Entertainment was provided by Edward T. Clifford who performed a variety of music from Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Barry Manilo,  Englebert Humperdink,  and many others with a class & style that is remarkable.  The atmosphere was warm & inviting as “The Human Jukebox” (as Edward T. Clifford is known as) wandered through the dining tables serenading the guests.

After dinner the dance floor heated up as couple’s danced the night away, smiling laughing & dancing cheek to cheek.  If you were brave enough to bundle up & step outside (as we did) the grounds at the Perthshire are magical.  Snow glistened on the gazebo & the bridge over the frozen pond is enchanting.

It was a wonderful time & I hope this becomes an annual event.  Please enjoy the photos of the evening.
