This past Sunday, December 11th, some of Jane Austen's biggest fans gathered at Denver's historic Castle Marne B&B to toast the lauded lady author and wish her a very happy 236th birthday. The party-goers enjoyed tasty finger sandwiches, delicious quiche and scrumptious scones and desserts. The authentic loose leaf Earl Grey Tea was a big hit as well.
The Jane Austen Society of North America, also known as JASNA is an organization of over 4,000 lovers of her novels. Some of her most well-known stories are "Sense and Sensibility", "Pride and Prejudice" and "Emma". The Denver/Boulder Region of JASNA gather throughout the year to share many pleasures: discussing Austen's novels; toasting her on her birthday (December 16th); listening to lectures, panels, and performances, illuminating her writing, life and era: learning English country dancing and 19th-century card games and much more.
To learn more about joining JASNA visit their web-site www.jasna.org or email Rae Wiseman at rae.wiseman@comcast.net.
On behalf of the family and staff of the Castle Marne B&B have a very Happy Birthday Jane!
