WINTER WARMER
THE ANNUAL MEMBERS’ PARTY JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER
The temperature in Brookline may have been frigid on February 4th, but the atmosphere at 15 Newton Street was warm.
Larz Anderson Lawn Events are well known for serving as a hub of enthusiast activity in the New England automotive sphere. On any given Sunday from May to October, you can expect to find the Great Lawn full of cars and, more importantly, the people who love them. But what happens when the time comes to break out our car covers and trickle chargers?
One might imagine that the Museum lies dormant until spring and car show season return. That would be quite wrong. Activities continue through the winter months, with Family Days, Cultural Concerts, and the Community Speaker series, not to mention How-To Tuesdays and, of course, the annual exhibit.
That said, there’s nothing like a party. And, more specifically, there’s nothing like the Museum’s Member’s Party! This annual event represents an important opportunity for the Larz Anderson Auto Museum to celebrate the community that constitutes its lifeblood. And that blood was pumping on the freezing Saturday night that saw 150 of the museum’s warmest supporters gathered together.
Food was plentiful and delicious, with passed apps from Forklift Catering and numerous stations offering flatbread (Johnny Burke Catering), mac and cheese (Ambrosia), chicken and waffles (Max Ultimate Food), short ribs (Calla), and dessert (Tastings). Guests filling their plates enjoyed the music, courtesy of DJ Matt Wininger, and magician Peter O’Malley ensured that no one got bored between bites. Roulette tables and hosts from Casino Productions added interest to the evening’s activities, and a cozy fireplace set up in the rear gallery for the occasion was a hit. Gordon’s supplied bar service and Espresso Dave, a regular at Cars and Coffee, provided a variety of coffee- and espresso-based treats.
Once again, the Museum’s members proved that we have far more than just cars to share with one another, and that it’ll take more than a cold snap to dampen our spirits.
