Friday Night at Llywelyn's

Friday night at Llywelyn's was a gorgeous Fall evening in WG just as we all hoped. Thanks to those who shared their candid photos of the evening (click to enlarge). We have added some of the shots taken by photographer, Gina Simon. Note all the red worn for the Cardinals in the playoffs. There were 4 large-screen TVs in the Pub Room so we would not miss a minute.
