The 2015 Champagne Gala Brunch fundraiser for the Southwest Seattle Historical Society set for Nov.7 got a rousing kick off with more than 60 people in attendance at a preview party for the event, held at the Colman Estate on Aug. 27.
The November event, themed as “Coming Home to the Homestead” will feature local broadcaster Marty Riemer is taking place at 11 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 7, 2015, at Salty’s on Alki, 1936 Harbor Ave. S.W.
The “Coming Home to the Homestead” theme takes off from the launch of restoration for the Alki Homestead. Rimmer will host a podcast at the event called “Wait, Wait, West Seattle … Don’t Tell Me!”
He will head a panel of West Seattle-based luminaries and quiz them on how much they know about the Alki Homestead and the rest of the Duwamish peninsula.
Also featured will be a presentation by Catherine Gruye Alexander and Rob Gruye, daughter and son of 1950s Alki Homestead chef and manager Robert Gruye.
