COLUMBIA, S.C. - Gov. Mark Sanford's mother, Margaret Sanford Peyton, will perform two piano concerts next month to raise money for the Lace House on the Gov.'s Mansion grounds.

Proceeds from the Oct. 3 concerts will benefit the Mansion Foundation and renovations for the Lace House's 150th anniversary next spring.

The state's one-time official guest house takes its name from its intricate black ironwork.

Peyton and her partner, Eunjoo Yun, have selected a series of light and rhythmic duets, dances and waltzes, including a rumba and samba.

First lady Jenny Sanford oversees the mansion complex and is organizing the concerts in a continuing effort to draw public attention and use of the mansion and its accompanying Lace and Boylston houses.

Sanford reopened the Lace House last spring for weddings and receptions. She hopes the concert will help with indoor renovations, such as draperies and rugs.
