The chefs and his assistants outdid themselves and prepared a scrumptious turkey, lobster and stuffed chicken dinner. Complete with mashed potatoes, stuffing, rice and beans, gravy and salad, the main course was exquisite. Add to that the extravagant dessert table and you can be sure that those present went home feeling like stuffed turkeys but quite happy.
The night was filled with special performances from the Black Orchid Dance Group from Benque Viejo del Carmen. Their dances combined with the great costumes gave everyone a wonderful taste of the Belizean culture.
It was a great Thanksgiving night, one sure to be remembered for years to come.
Owners the Lewis’ enjoyed the night along with their family, especially five-month-old Veronica.
