Dance Recital Fiddle-de-dee Scottish Dancers
Sometimes the lodge is donated to worthy causes for fundraisers. Stiltwalkers delighted all present at the above event. On the back wall are the tapestries Charles made for his and Pam's wedding in 2007, the same year that they bought San Geronimo Lodge. These tapestries, along with two others not shown, celebrate wedding traditions around the world. The tall tapestries behind the stiltwalkers, the little children, and people of normal size in this photo, make for a wonderfully confusing sense of scale!
