Pernod-Ricard Mansion Halloween
and Rossini's Halloween for Sunnyhill Hospital

Oct 30, 2004

By Catherine Barr

 

Craig Stowe and his Pernod Ricard party team sure know how to put on a show. Scary Shaughnessy set the stage last Saturday as a heritage house mansion was transformed into a bona fide haunted house. The costumes were outstanding, as was the music, making it one of this town's hottest Halloween howls.

Also last Saturday, Rossini's in Gastown put on their second annual Halloween fundraiser in support of Sunnyhill Kids' Hospital. Silent and live auction items and dancing to Billy Dixon helped round out the night.
