Shortly after everyone had settled in, dinner was served. The menu featured a dinner salad with ranch or Italian dressing, barbecued chicken, barbecued beef brisket, Au-gratin potatoes, steamed baby carrots and green beans and cheese cake with a chocolate and raspberry coulis.

During the dinner Hallmark projected photographs of the Tacky Tourist costume contest participants.

As people finished their meal, Don Hall Jr. welcomed everyone to the event and made a few remarks. The evening concluded with the announcing of the winners of the Tacky Tourist costume contest and the awarding of the table centerpieces to the individual at each table that had a pre determined mark under their seat.

*NOTE: This ornament was issued in limited-quantities and only available as a dinner gift at the 2015 Keepsake Ornament club event.
