75th Anniversary Diamond Jubilee: a Sparkling Night at the Colonel’s Quarters at Castle Hill
The Oxford-Lafayette County Chamber of Commerce celebrated Thursday night its 75th anniversary at the Colonel’s Quarters at Castle Hill, and the night featured the best of Oxford from guests to fine dining.
The Colonel’s Quarters rose to the extravagant affair as it revealed its newly-constructed ballroom adorned with shimmering chandeliers as the guests enjoyed the Memphis Bouffants’ sass. The chamber’s inaugural Chef Shuffle featured many Oxford restaurants from Casa Mexicana to McEwen’s to baklava from Culin-Arts. Long dresses and tuxedos looked radiant in the setting sun at the Colonel’s Quarters.
