One of my favorite parties each Halloween season is Pearl and Chuck Mintzer’s Monster Bash at their home in New Hope, PA. Although there are many guests, the largest group present are the members of the Bucks County Opera Association, of which Pearl and Chuck are members.
I was unable to go this year, although I have made the local papers listed as “Mr. AVA” in the past.
The costumes always have a theme and this year, of course, was The Scarlet Letter. Anna Williams is elected as the costume mistress/designer and does a bang-up job with fitting everyone. Her Falstaff costumes last year were amazing. Who would be the lucky one to actually wear the scarlet A? Seems like it‘s Anna Williams hersef. Is that champagne you're carrying Hester?
So the color scheme might have been black-and-white, but I’m sure there was some colorful 21st century fun at the event. Never were there more jolly pilgrims, and never have pilgrims before enjoyed mixed cocktails and chicken wings!
The Bucks County Opera Association will hold their annual gala, Something to Sing About, on Sunday, November 7th at the Holly Hedge Estate in New Hope. Sit -down dinner, silent auctions, music from the resident artists, and yours truly as the live auctioneer. An event that should not be missed! Click here for contact information.
