Though temperatures dipped into the mid 40s, a record number of young friends and supporters the Historical Society of Palm Beach County flocked to the 15th annual Evening on Antique Row. Shop owners along South Dixie Highway opened their stores to more than 2,200 guests, highlighting West Palm Beach's world-renowned antique and design district.
Co-chaired by Aime Dunstan, Jen Groden, Melissa Lee and Laura Wissa, in conjunction with district association president Tracy Coffey, Evening on Antique Row is the primary fund-raiser for the Young Friends of the Society. Making an appearance for the second year at event was a selection of classic cars from Chariots of Palm Beach, and a garden lounge complete with cigars, music and adult beverages designed by Dunstan Designs and sponsored by Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens and Gentlemen of the Garden.
The evening continued for members of the Young Friends Host Committee with the exclusive After Party on the chic rooftop pool deck of CityPlace South Tower, where guests enjoyed a live drag performance by “Maxine,” “Mitzi” and “Ricky.” A spread of hors d’oeuvres prepared by Sandy James Fine Food Productions, made-to-order hot mini Ruben sandwiches prepared on site by Grease Burger Bar, and an array of desserts graciously donated by Café Chardonnay were complemented by a Ketel One Vodka ice bar.
Proceeds from the Evening on Antique Row support the educational programs of the Historical Society of Palm Beach County and the Richard and Pat Johnson Palm Beach County History Museum.
