Ed Toole and his daughter Madeline, The Duchess of Marseille at "La Fête Royale" Presentation Gala
La Fiesta de las Seis Banderas proudly presented forty Duchesses and their Escorts at “La Fête Royale” Presentation Gala at The Fairmont Dallas on Saturday, June 10. The 32nd annual event celebrated the flag of France and captured the golden grandeur of the French culture. Each young debutante was presented by her father and made a full presentation bow in her unique costume representing her Duchess title.
Presentation Gala Co-Chairs Anne Besser and Michelle Johnson planned an evening of elegance with a seated dinner and late night dancing to Signed, Sealed and Delivered. Gala Title Sponsors were Balfour Beatty Construction, Lee Lewis Construction, and Stantec Architecture. Funds raised benefit fifteen Park Cities charitable organizations and will be awarded to each beneficiary by La Fiesta Chairs Rebecca Gregory and Nancy Monning at a party in Highland Park Village in September.
