There will be a wonderful masque ball to celebrate Jacqueline Carey and the Longest Night on December 16, 2017 near Harrisburg, PA. I attended the ball last December, with my wife, and had a fun time. Ms. Carey is a delight to meet - she will be at the Longest Night Masque this year, again. I urge all who enjoy her work, and would like to meet her, to sign up for this very fun costume event. Proceeds to help a charity Petapalooza! http://www.thelongestnightmasque.com
