The West End Full Moon Tour was a great success. Tour leader and host, Allen Thomas led folks through the time to the West End in the late 1940s. The moon was gorgeous and enticed the spirit of Isaac DeTurk to regal folks with the history of his barn. Everyone had a blast at Starks where they enjoyed food, Full Moon cocktails and the wonderful Fondettes. Thanks to Bill Montgomery (aka Isaac DeTurk), Franco American Bakery, the Fondettes and Starks Steakhouse.
