The ballroom at Salamander Resort and Spa was recently transformed with Moroccan lights and palms into a stage set of Casablanca for this year’s Windy Hill Gala fundraiser. The Honorary Chairs: Gloria and Howard Armfield, who have given so much for our community, came as Ingrid Bergman and Humphrey Bogart as a send up to the 1942 film. And, Doc Scantlin lit up his iconic memorable Imperial Palms big band with passion.

When the film “The Hoy Boys”- documenting the life and careers of twin photographers in Washington at the Star and the Post- made the list for the Middleburg Film Festival, Heather and Richard Taylor knew it would be a sweet reunion. Left to right: Betsy Hoy Shiverick, producer (daughter of Tom Hoy), Director Dave Simonds, Richard Taylorfriend of the Hoys for 40 years, Barbara Hoy-widow of Tom Hoy, Heather Taylor-friend of the Hoy’s for 60 years with Producer Paul Shiverick. Of course, Country ZEST highly recommends this film.
