It is well-known folklore that Samuel Cupples often enjoyed a glass of wine on his patio as he tried to think of ways to make his house look more awesome. Now you can follow in his footsteps by raising a glass to the class of 2010. Mary Marshall with the Samuel Cupples House has more:
The patio of the Historic Samuel Cupples House will be the place to be to raise a glass in toast to the Class of 2010.
Join us on Thursday, May 13, for a wine tasting and the mellow sounds of the jazz trio, The Silk Pajamas. The “toast” begins at 4 p.m. and continues until 7:30. The event is open to the entire University community.
Wine will be available for purchase by the bottle and by the glass. There is no admission fee. Must be 21-years-of-age to consume or purchase alcohol.
Congratulations to the parents and members of the Class of 2010!
