Christmas, Clothing & Chocolate<br />
For a dozen years, <strong>Galena</strong>’s<br />
annual “Chocolate, Champagne<br />

so popular, it sells out. So, this<br />
year, the organizers are adding<br />
an event on the preceding night,<br />
one that promises to be just as<br />
popular: a Vintage Clothing<br />
Exhibit and Silent Auction of<br />
tabletop Christmas trees.<br />

This new event will be held<br />
from 5 to 7 p.m. on Friday, Nov.<br />
4, in <strong>The</strong> DeSoto House Hotel<br />
in downtown <strong>Galena</strong> and includes<br />
a sparkling display and<br />
silent auction of 30 tabletopsized<br />
Christmas trees decorated<br />
by <strong>Galena</strong>’s innkeepers, artisans<br />
and shopkeepers. At the<br />
same time, you can view authentic<br />
Civil War fashions from<br />
the exquisite vintage clothing<br />
collection of Ainsley Brook<br />
Wonderling from Lake Villa,<br />
Ill. She began collecting antique<br />
hats and gowns more than<br />
30 years ago, and loves sharing<br />
and talking about her collection.<br />
Refreshments will be served,<br />
and tickets are $5 per person at<br />
the door.<br />
