2022 Scarborough Society Gala
The beautiful Bavarian Inn was once again the host location for the annual Scarborough Society Gala.
The 2022 Scarborough Gala theme was based on the Adventures of Alice in Wonderland written by Lewis Carroll.
The Mad Hatter Tea Party inspired arrangements were created by Kevin Wilson ’84, who serves on the Gala Committee.
