Fans of the Masterpiece blockbuster Downton Abbey flocked to WGBH Studios in their best 1920s costumes for an evening of fine food, discussion of the era and the Potted Palm music typical of the times.
The program for the evening offered a demonstration in popular dance from that era, a performance by the Ocean State Serenaders (click on "Listen" above), and a lesson in proper cocktail assembly, perfect for those nights when fans decide to spend an evening at home watching Season Three again on DVD.
WGBH Members and friends celebrated Valentine's Day at the station with a great wine and chocolate pairing. Romance was in the air, along with plenty of laughter at the costumes available at our photo booth.
Special thanks to Margarita Martinez, host of WGBH's Neighborhood Kitchens, for playing emcee for our event.

More than 2,000 people visited the WGBH Studios in Brighton over three beautiful fall days in September to celebrate all the great food and drink our region has to offer.
