Event Chronicle
At the Kissing Auction held at Fall Coronet, our noble Prince chivalrously outbid all others for the 50 kisses of a wench who resembled our gracious Queen to an amazing degree. For his success, he was rewarded with kisses so sweet and melting they had to be wrapped — by the Hershey company.
