On September 23, 2017, just six weeks after the building purchase, we opened our doors with a very festive Gala evening to a full house of new and old patrons alike. The always-effervescent Tom Drill agreed to be our door greeter, setting the perfect tone before anyone stepped foot inside. Janet Planet took the stage with a memorable concert (on her birthday no less!) after we enjoyed Unwound (Gloria and Pete Pivonka) playing for us in the Pub, a sumptuous appetizer buffet and champagne toast. Janet's birthday cake was served at intermission. Our new art gallery premiered it's first exhibit, The Art of S.v.Gonia, and we had the artist, Ms. Gonia in attendance to meet with guests. We were honored to have former owner, Ron Kaminski in attendance. It was a magical evening all around - and a wonderful kick-off to a new chapter of great theater, music and cultural events at the Forst Inn.
