WINTER GARDEN From 1920s flappers to Mickey and Minnie Mouse, guests at Matthew’s Hope’s fourth annual Harvest for Hope Garden Party pulled out all the stops to decorate their tables — and dress accordingly. The annual dinner party — held this year on Saturday, Nov. 18 — is a fundraiser for the ministry, which helps facilitate opportunities to homeless and struggling individuals who are ready to move toward self sustainability and independence. It’s also a friendly competition that pits guests head-to-head to win the Best Dressed Table Award. This year, the Orlando Sentinel’s Scott Maxwell was the emcee, and comedian Bob Smiley provided the laughter with his stand-up routine.
