Guests entered the Moonshine & Memories party through a speakeasy-style door, and the 1920s theme continued inside. Beacon Hill neighbors danced the night away to music from the Perry Rossi Orchestra and were treated to a few lessons from dance students at Wheaton College, complete with 1920s attire provided by Boston Costume. The night ended with one lucky winner taking home an amazing Prohibition-busting gift basket.
