Royal Bal Masque MMXI

King Charles II: Mr. John Marshall McAvoy
Queen of Charleston: Ms. Jenny Sullivan Sanford

The 2011 Grand Ball, Royal Bal Masque MMXI, was held on February 12, 2011 in the Crystal Ballroom at the Charleston Marriott. Over 700 attendees witnessed the formal crowning of our King and Queen, enjoyed the presentation of the 60-person royal court, and danced the night away to the sounds of Rockin' Dopsie & The Zydeko Twisters.
