Events Worthy DBE Launch Party
Lancaster, PA, September 8, 2011 – Although Lancaster County was besieged by flooding from the remnants of Tropical Storm Lee, there was one party that couldn’t be prevented. More than 350 people braved the weather to be at the launch party for Donald Blyler Events.
The gala was held at the Lancaster Quilt and Textile Museum. Once a bank, the restored building still boasts the grandeur of Beaux-Arts architecture and a barrel-vaulted ceiling. Colorfully abstract décor and fashion show lighting cast a modern aura over the 99-year old structure. The smooth spins of DJ Freez fueled the party, while Jimmy Duffy’s Catering satisfied appetites, and Couture Cakery, House of Clarendon, and Miesse Candies tempted everyone’s sweet tooth. Using some of the very best seasonal ingredients in Lancaster County, Jimmy Duffy Catering cultivated food stations that enhanced rapport and were complemented by wine, beer and spirits.
Particularly memorable were the three models from Envy Studio, airbrushed with painstaking detail to have the appear- ance of being stone sculptures.
Assisted by the PA Dutch Convention & Visitors Bureau, Mayor Rick Gray welcomed attendees. This was followed by the reading of a letter from Senator Pat Toomey, who had intended to come to the festivities but was hindered by flood emergencies. Don Blyler cut the ceremonial red ribbon, and the launch became official. “I am honored to be a part of such a welcoming and supportive community,” he said.
