The guests may have all been incognito, but they were welcomed among family and friends as The Tarpon Club at Fiddler’s Creek kicked off the season with an elaborate Masquerade Party.
The South Terrace and Gulf Ballroom at the Marco Beach Ocean Resort were decorated by The Tarpon Club staff with a masquerade ball theme for the grand affair which kicked off the season with much flare. Many guests came decked out with authentic masks and costumes representing an Elizabethan queen or princess or animals such as a panther or leopard. Others chose to dress in black accentuated by vibrant colors and designs.
The extravagant evening was also highlighted with a concocted “Welcome Cocktail” and live entertainment. Members and their guests enjoyed a delicious four course dinner consisting of Grilled Prawn Shrimp accompanied with Strawberry and Rocket Arugula Salad with a Juniper Berry and Balsamic Reduction; Butternut Squash and Ricotta Stuffed Ravioli with Brown Butter and Sage; Colorado Black Angus Fillet Mignon with Roasted Sea Scallops, Sweet Corn Potatoes and Chorizo Ragu. The Chocolate Bignes stuffed with Vanilla Ice Cream and Toasted Pistachio Nuts dessert was the perfect ending to a great dinner.
The Masquerade Party is just one of many social events and activities for members of The Tarpon Club, a resort-style amenity available for residents of Fiddler’s Creek.
