This was the end of World War 1, so there was a very large sense of excitement, and there was a new “modern way of living.” This was definitely a wild and carefree time period. But, this also happened to be during the prohibition era. Because of people’s excess drinking and the growing problem of alcohol dependence, the government wanted to eradicate the temptation of liquor, so thus came the prohibition of alcohol. But, this did not stop people from drinking. At parties like Gatsby’s there was still an abundance of alcohol. Part of the reason Gatsby was so rich was because he participated in illegal activities, one of these activities being bootlegging.
A BIG thank you to all who helped on this fantastic roaring twenty's night, especially Mark Kitto Band and John Hammer for taking these great photo's
