The Gentleman of the Garden are in howling good cheer with
the overwhelming success of last Friday’s Devil’s Night
located at the Ann Norton Sculpture Garden in West Palm
Beach.
Over 500 Devil’s Night fans descended into the darkness for
an evening of decadent celebration with the highly acclaimed
band, Big Bang Radio, several open bars, ice luge liquor
stations, gourmet catered food stations and a VIP section.
Prizes were awarded for best costume to Bobby Leidy who won
1st prize as Richard Simmons, Kristin Braden for 2nd prize
as Avatar, and Kelly Murray for 3rd prize as
Vintage Barbie.
Dack Patriarca, a Gentleman of the Garden member said, “This
was definitely the GOG's most successful event and Devil's
Night to date. We are still making the final tally but the
garden raised over $50,000.00 from the event.”
Devil’s Night at the ANSG is devilishly known as THE best
haunt in Palm Beach County. The fiendish fantasy is known
for its scarily and sexily costumed partygoers who descend
on the famous landmark each year.
Recognizing the importance of supporting such an important
art and culture endeavor in Palm Beach County, sponsors
included the Big Time Restaurant Group (Rocco's Tacos,
Grease Burger, City Cellar and City Oyster & Sushi Bar),
Ketel One Vodka, Chariots of Palm Beach, Downtown at the
Gardens, Monarchy, Monster Energy, Mario Nievera Design
Inc., Palm Beach Medical, Pistache French Bistro, VIP – Very
Important Paws, Hy-Lite Productions, Inc, and United
Rentals.
Organizers included Honorary Chairman Todd Herbst,
Co-Chairmen Kevin Allen Clark and Dack Patriarca, and
committee members Loy Anderson III, Christopher Dunstan,
Ryan Bridger, James Holmes, Jonathan Cameron-Hayes, Bob
Eigelberger, Carlos Morrison and Benjamin Macfarland.
Co-chaired by Aime Dunstan and Hilary Jordan, the Ladies’
Committee includes Amanda Boalt, Angela Culveyhouse,
Stephanie Harris, Brandie Herbst, Kathryn Martin, Kelly
Murray, Rachel Romano, Linda Soper and Tara Tobin.
The
official after party was held at Monarchy in West Palm Beach
where Halloween revelers partied well into the night.
Proceeds from Devil’s Night benefit the Ann Norton Sculpture
Gardens, a protected Palm Beach County Landmark.
