WSRE's Southern & Sassy Annual Tea Party A Glamorous Success!

Pensacola, Fla. — WSRE, PBS for the Gulf Coast, recently held its third annual spring tea party, Southern & Sassy, on Sunday, May 6 at the Pensacola Yacht Club. The public television fundraiser was a success raising more than $10,000 in gross revenue towards the mission of local public television station WSRE.

Guests gathered for an afternoon of scrumptious hors d’oeuvres and tasty beverages by Pensacola Yacht Club Chef Artie Gless as they enjoyed the enchanting surroundings of the Pensacola Yacht Club and the captivating jazz music of Al Martin. Stein Mart presented a spring fashion show, and Becca Boles and Meg Peltier shared southern smiles with their hilarious presentation “Somethin’ to Talk About” (pictured at left).
