Radio Days Saturday Night Banquet

The final dinner was a tribute to Cincinnati's sweetheart Doris Day. During dinner a "fashion show" was held highlighting the optional purchase items. Sandra gave a fascinating PowerPoint presentation on the inspirations for the Radio Days Collection. The evening closed with the results of the silent helper auction and helper raffle.
