Erected as a garage in 2013 and Completed in 2020 by Jason Schexnaider and crew. Our final spot on the self guided tour! When I decided on the name 7 Oaks Event Garden, (seven..after Lance and I and our 5 kids) I knew the main room for concerts would be called the Rabbit Hole. As a lover of all things flowers and partial to the movie Alice in Wonderland I knew it would be a perfect fit for all the unexpected musical and in person story telling we would experience for years to come. This room seats 85 for shows, 100 for ceremonies and 65 for dinner. It has held Dean Dillon, Red Steagall, local singer songwriters gathering in community and many more! The stage is trimmed with spindles from the Picket House in Woodville Tx and tin from our old barn . There is art in the walls through the holes in the tin that bring you into a felt garden world created by Tasha Werner. We have hosted showers for our daughters/sons, parties for our grandchildren and special events for the community. A space that Andrew Duhon called “a chapel of songs”. It’s been called a “sanctuary” and “church”. It’s the place i brought my light into back in 2020 when we built it out and then hosted our first show with Frank Martin Gilligan while the world was trying to fall apart. The room is small but mighty. It celebrates life and living. It holds history of this little town called LaBelle and an original painting “The Road Less Traveled” by Mark Nesmith. The armoire that holds it all together? “Narnia”. ***Every chair but two..second hand. Even some from the federal courthouse and Judge Mahaffey’s old church pew. Collected through the years. Many years. Little pieces of other people’s stories, their lives , time spent sitting in these chairs holding babies, holding life, laughing, crying….all gather here. No names. No color. No gender. Just remnants of humans that lived. That’s what this room is to 7 Oaks. It’s what I hope it always is…. my friend Ann Jones said it best, “A sanctuary for the living good”.
