Classical Brunch at the Governor Warner Mansion - June 3, 2006


A variety of musical groups played
in the gazebothroughout the
afternoon. Entertainment moved
into the Mansion briefly when
a light rain began to fall.
CHEF TIM GILSON
from GALA RESTAURANT
prepared omelets to order
all afternoon.
A few brave souls remained undeterred by
sprinkles that fell late in the afternoon,
but heavier rains soon drove everyone
under a canopy to enjoy a flute, harp and violin
trio from the Detroit Symphony Orchestra.
