Nearly 600 West University Place neighbors and friends joined for La Fête du Jardin, “The Garden Party.” The 28th annual Park Lovers’ Ball raised $425,000. Event co-chairs (pictured) Jennifer and Scott Allison, Stephanie and Ryan Fleck, Caroline and Kevin Walter, and Megan and Brian Cushing created a memorable evening, which included a living topiary who posed for photos with guests. Honorees were John and Andrea Young. Décor co-chairs Stacey Christ and Jennifer Swallen fulfilled the vision of a French-themed garden party. Artist Angela Fabbri painted live, and emcee was Ilona Carson of ABC 13. Auction co-chairs were Jessie Cutler and Michele Marandi. Underwriting and sponsorship co-chairs were Kim Eads and Emily Yardley. Doppelganger kept guests dancing until midnight.
