From the TwinCities.com Pioneer Press: “On Saturday, two western Wisconsin women will toil from dawn to dusk, making floral centerpieces and decorations for what some in [b:ded15c0826]New York society columns have dubbed “the most magnificent ball of the century”[/b:ded15c0826] at the [b:ded15c0826]Palace of Versailles in France[/b:ded15c0826].”
The women, Allison Lisk and Eden Penn “are contributing to the efforts of the American Friends of Versailles, a group devoted to the restoration of Versailles and its gardens.”
Guests include First Lady Laura Bush, Bernadette Chirac, wife of the French president, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and his wife, Nancy, Lee Radziwill, sister of the late Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, socialite Anne Bass, and a host of French counts, dukes and princesses.
“The festivities will cap with fireworks and continue well after midnight with a concert by [b:ded15c0826]Jimmy Buffett[/b:ded15c0826], another AFV member.”
