ON NOVEMBER 12th

House in the Country had the privilege of hosting a fall dinner to benefit the Point Arena Lighthouse for the second time. The Lighthouse is over 100 years old and a dedicated group of fundraisers are making sure that the beacon light is around for another 100 years.

 The weather was beautiful as was the art filled dining room and the outdoor fountain garden.
