Not a totally ridiculous question given Richmond and surrounds are a tobacco stronghold.

That’s what I thought. Not out of the realm of possibility.

Yes. My daughter held her wedding reception in a museum of “natural objects” at the University of Richmond that was funded by a tobacco heiress. A Reynolds, I think. It was a lovely place to hold a reception and reasonablein price. We had “heavy” hors d’oevres supplied by the catering service with the museum contract. The stations were scattered amongst the exhibits so the guests could prowl the museum while waiting for the DJ and the bridal couple to arrive. There was a small dance floor.

The contents of the museum consisted of objets d’artes that were constructed out of natural materials. We had a crab dip served out of a gigantic shell (supplied by the museum). There was even an aisle with a whole wall of live tropical fish.
