Renaissance Dinner a success
We apologize for the delay in our reports. Computer casualties and vacation time interfered with our timely reporting.
WILLIAMS—The dinner by the Grand Canyon Renaissance Experience group at the Sultana theater catered by Anna of the Grand Canyon Coffee and Cafe seems to have been a success.
Crowds shuffled in to dining, music, magic, and song all with a Renaissance flavor.
