I had the exceptional experience of attending the third annual Paula Bailey Dining in the Dark event. Hundreds of diners like me were escorted to our tables in total darkness and experienced what it is like for the sight impaired to struggle through a meal. The evening was informational and shed light on another segment of our society and the challenges they face each and every day.

 

Special Thanks to my friend Bill Hebrock for insisting I attend. It was well worth my time and yours! See you next year, but only after the lights come back on.
