Appreciation Dinner
The Appreciation Dinner is by invitation from the Stroll through History Committee. The 2009 evening starts with no host bar at 5:30 p.m. with dinner at 6:30 p.m at the Hotel Woodland, 436 Main Street, Woodland (530) 662-5463.
Each year the Stroll through History is produced by the Stroll through History Committee using the resources of our generous local sponsors, our home tour residence owners, and by dozens of persons who organize and manage the hundreds of volunteers into the many events which take place all day long throughout the entire area. Throughout the year, there are many meetings and rehearsal days for groups of Stroll volunteers. There is never a single meeting where the whole gang gets together except on Stroll Day itself. But, because everyone is busy all day with their own events, they don’t get to see all of the costumes, meet everyone and hear their stories.
In recognition of the need to thank everyone at once, the Stroll through History Committee invites these dedicated volunteers to an appreciation dinner on the evening of Stroll day. Everyone comes in their finest Stroll costumes based on fashions from 1840-1940. There are proper Victorian era housewives and flaming sequined flappers, working train conductors, and Edwardian era bankers. In other words, a little bit of everything. The evening starts with cocktails and a signing by the winner of the Stroll Poster Contest. Music and entertainment are provided during the catered dinner. The after dinner program recognizes the tour homeowners, contest and award winners, and the many contributors to the success of the Stroll.
