Start writing your backstory. Who are you? Where do you come from? What motivates you?

I keep hoping that I will have all my ducks in a row for having our first annual Fezziwig ball by the next New Years Eve. Well, definitely not this year, but perhaps for Sunday, December 31, 2023.

What we have mapped out is quite a full production. One aspect of it is the LODGING here on the property so guests can just get a carriage ride back to their lodging. We will have six rooms at The Wilderness Country Inn, three cottages, and six suites in the Farmhouse. Each of these is for two people only, no smoking and no pets.

We are planning on between 60 and 100 guests total, so unfortunately we won’t be able to lodge everyone.

I haven’t posted in a while. Partly because of the virus and partly because a ball is just not where people need to be right now. It may be where we want to be, but not where we should be.

My desire is that we would have an annual ball, so maybe 2021 will be the year.

I bought some curtains at an antique store and made a dress for the Fezziwig Ball. I'm calling it my Scarlett dress.

Here is another idea: Everyone would have a back story. These would be woven into a composite where there would be a common storyline. Maybe a matronly lady would give up her child as a young lady, but there is an orphan at the ball that is her long lost child. And they finally are reunited.

Have you ever had a dream that seems elusive? One that as you get closer to it, it fades. The Fezziwig Ball is one of those. I dream, and plan, and hope, and picture what it will be like. But I have other priorities. Other responsibilities.

I hope that it will be a time our guests look forward to every year.

I'll share one aspect: the Servants Ball

The Servants Ball will be held on. December 30 each year. We plan to have Ladies Maids, Vallets, Cooks, Kitchen Maids and Footman serving at the Fezziwig Ball on the 31st. But the night before will be the Servant's Ball.
