AROUND LEXINGTON COUNTY

Everyone looks forward to the annual OktoberFest hosted by Lori Moroz, owner of Pine Press Printing on Ellis Avenue in Lexington, and by Weichert Realty. Rain and colder temperatures did not deter guests from attending this festive event.

Guests were treated to authentic German fare of pork roast, bratwurst, sauerkraut, spatzle and a variety of breads and desserts. Warm pretzels were available as well as face painting and balloon art for younger guests. A DJ entertained the crowd, which had a chance to bid at a silent auction. Proceeds are to benefit the Midlands Special Needs Foundation.

Among those attending were Bunnie and Don Hagenlocher, Ron Williams, Angie and Ken Shuler, Debbie Landis, Tracy Fredrychowski, Kyle Kelly, Sylvia Bachman, Rose Howard, Michael Joseph, Eileen Karges and Alex Adams.

Ladies of the Lexington Network of Female Executives enjoyed a treat for their October meeting last Tuesday. They met at the newly opened Cinnamon Hill House and Garden Event Center. It was hosted by owner Dawn LaRocque. A delicious catered dinner was served.

Speaker was Janet Lehman, a club member who is associated with Jumper, Carter, Sease Architects in West Columbia. She told the history of her company and the importance of cultivating and maintaining business relationships. She also demonstrated some visual design tools that her firm uses in its design work and presentations.
