Oaklana Plantation, Roxobel, Bertie County, NC: Brunch benefit for Hope Plantation, November 4, 2007
This was a benefit for Hope Plantation held at Oaklana, a privately owned plantation house a few miles from Hope. Five of us went up the afternoon before and spent the night at Oaklana, and three drove up early Sunday morning. It was a perfect fall weekend. Gregory Tyler was a gracious and generous hostess.
