It was a warm night on August 17 for people to gather in celebration of new things to come to Catawba, North Carolina.  Saturday, a party was hosted by Gilda Caputo-Hansen to bring together the “who’s who” of the Town of Catawba.  Guests walked down a red carpet to have their pictures made to remember an evening celebrating the future of Catawba. 

A masquerade-themed party was held from 7:30 p.m. 10:30 p.m. at her establishment, The Landmark 1896. “Having this is a great way to bring people together and make connections,” she said.  Guests grazed on Italian dishes while mingling and dancing to a local band.  Caputo-Hansen had a six-piece live band, Euphoria Entertainment, to inspire guests to get out on the dance floor.
