It was mix and mingle with the Housewives at Foxwoods Resort Casino on Sunday, November 8th, and I was asked to tag along with Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation Tribal Elders Sharon Porter and Cheryl Martin. The meet and greet brunch was fabulous and the Housewives were outgoing, and real. I wouldn’t have missed it.
