Our 2nd Annual 4th of July Bash was a Success!
This year’s party and auction, hosted by Sam Roberts in his beautiful top-floor loft and patio roof of the historic Parry building in High Falls (built 1880), was a unique and stunning experience.
Guests enjoyed the 24 foot ceilings, original iron work, and a 360° view of the entire region’s fireworks—including downtown and Frontier Field! We feasted on Sticky Lips Bar-b-que, Wegman’s catering, delectable chocolates provided by Hedonist Artisan Chocolate, and wine from Glenora and Knapp wineries!
