I hope more people will post their recollections and opinions of the weekend; it's always so interesting to read different perspectives.

Me too!  And I understand about your Fest reporting.  I've heard lots of good buzz about your CP skit, btw, and hope it's finding its way to you.  And thank you for answering my question about the banquet.

Thanks, Bobubas.  Loved the photo.   [ghost_happy]

Angelique and the Supremes sang "Where Did Our Blood Go?," featuring our own Mary and Cassandra along with Cassandra's daughter Marlena, all in blonde curls, with an appearance by the Forum's Evan Hanley as Nicholas Blair.

Love it!  Thanks, jimbo.  (That's Cassandra's mom and granddaughter at the end.)

The Costume Gala

Alice Faye as a belly dancing Magda

Sadly, Alice Faye passed away on August 4 at an Indiana hospital, leaving behind a husband, daughter, son and 4 grandchildren.  Anyone who has attended a Fest may remember Alice dressed for the daytime events in beautiful period dresses and curls, and perhaps has seen her on stage in one of the previous Costume Galas.

Thanks Midnite!  Thanks Jimbo!

And thanks Taeylor!

And I was so sorry to hear about Alice's passing.  She will be missed at the Fests.

Here is the video of Alice Faye's last performance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmnH6BYgegM

She was such a distinctive presence at the Festivals.  I couldn't believe it when I heard she had died.  I will miss seeing her each year.

Thanks ProfStokes. I was so saddened to learn of Alice's sudden passing. I was glad to have spoken to her much more at this year's Fest. I got to know her a lot better. Alice really gave it her all at the Fests and it shows in her performances. A truly devoted Dark Shadows fan and a real nice person who will be missed at future Festivals.

Well all right for Miss Alice.  God Bless her. I like to think that she is dancing up a storm in the great beyond with Grayson, Joel, Don and all the others we have lost from DS. She seemed like a totally cool lady! [ghost_smiley]

Thanks for posting that, ProfStokes.  There will be an empty spot in the Costume Gala now without Alice.
