Dinner is served

An ice sculpture spotlighted a food station at the first "Hammers, Hearts and Homes Ball" Saturday at Sam’s Town Hotel & Casino. It was a benefit for Habitat for Humanity of Northwest Louisiana that helps builds homes for people who need a roof over their heads. The Sam’s Town staff prepared mouth-watering hors d’oeuvres and delectable desserts, accompanied by a variety of tasting wines donated by Glazier Companies. One hot spot: The pasta table where Jeff George cooked up pasta to order. It was delicious.
