The 2012 Beautiful Tables Showcase, to be held October 25-28, 2012 from 10 am to 4 pm at Lakewold, has become a favorite holiday event. Local designers, both professional and novice, create over 30 table settings throughout the Wagner House and compete for top honors in four categories: formal, contemporary, holiday, and whimsical.

The showcase honors Eulalie Wagner, the former owner and visionary behind Lakewold Gardens, who is duly noted as a consummate gardener and hostess. Her elegant soirees are legendary and this event evokes her gracious spirit while offering the visitor ideas to continue the tradition of entertaining at home.
