Wild Orchid Party The Ladies Hospital Aid Society (LHAS) and URBANpolish partnered to host the Wild Orchid Party at the Fort Pitt Museum, raising more than $27,500 for the LHAS Orchid Fund! The whiskey saloon-themed affair featured vintage libations, live music, entertainment, an old-time photo booth, a raffle, and a silent auction. More than 200 guests dined on upscale, traditional American fare, such as gruyère and sea scallop mac ‘n cheese, barbecue shrimp cocktail, and rich filet stew. Classic cocktails Lady Shirley and Sazerac were favorites, especially for sipping on the deck overlooking Point State Park. Sponsored by Smail Automotive and managed by Diana Rua Media, the event featured tunes by DJ Anthony Renee, and a performance by Burlesque dancers wowed the crowd. Auction items were generously donated by local businesses, including Henne Jewelers, Tamari, Carson Street Deli, and Root 174. Other items included Penguins tickets, donated by F. Dok Harris and Jack Delaney, and golf outing packages. As guests stayed late into the evening, they enjoyed exploring the museum’s exhibit, History Meets Hollywood. — K.C.
