A Work<br />
of Art<br />
captured during<br />
Gala June 21<br />
The time-honored and uniquely <strong>Stan</strong> <strong>Hywet</strong> tradition, a<br />
Midsummer’s Night Gala, treated guests to a stunning night of<br />
celebration. From the white-gloved butler greeting guests at the<br />
front door to strolling down the twinkle-lit garden path at the<br />
close of the evening, the soiree was marked with the gentility<br />
and grace of a bygone era. A passion for the arts was evident<br />
and a fitting tribute to Gertrude Seiberling. Artistry abounded<br />
in the form of scenes captured on canvas by local plein air artists<br />
from the Akron Society of Artists, elegantly sophisticated floral<br />
arrangements and culinary presentations. The West Terrace<br />
buzzed with guests anxious to view the summer solstice, with<br />
the final peaks of sunlight dramatically setting behind the treeframed<br />
Overlook. A highlight of the evening was an auction<br />
for 20 guests to enjoy Dinner in the Dining Room, an exclusive<br />
experience in the historic Dining Room of the Manor House.<br />
Guest auctioneer, Dave Lieberth did the honors and awarded<br />
the experience to the highest bidder. Deepest gratitude is<br />
extended to the Gala Chairs, Jennifer and Timothy DelMedico,<br />
presenting sponsors The Lehner Family Foundation and The J.M.<br />
Smucker Company, as well as the many sponsors, over 500 guests,<br />
contributors and volunteers. Their efforts helped raise over<br />
$130,000 in net proceeds to benefit the continued preservation<br />
of this historic estate.<br />
A Perfect<br />
Summer Evening<br />
Off the Vine set a new tone for guests to enjoy a beautiful<br />
summer evening at the Estate. Nearly 900 came together<br />
on July 19th to sip, savor and experience more than<br />
60 wines, curated by presenting partner Heidelberg<br />
Distributing, and tapas-style culinary creations prepared<br />
by <strong>Stan</strong> <strong>Hywet</strong>’s catering partners. As guests mingled<br />
throughout the estate,<br />
enjoying live music and the<br />
FUSED art exhibit, many<br />
were overheard saying<br />
they look forward to the<br />
next one! We do, too.<br />
Watch for the date to be<br />
announced in next spring’s<br />
edition of this magazine.<br />
