Park Perfect

The vibe was Cali-cool at the annual Evening in the Park gala. The weather cooperated, and more than 500 patrons turned up to the Hermann Park Conservancy’s California Dreaming-themed event, this year chaired by Bonner and George Ball, Janet Gurwitch and Ron Franklin, and Dancie and Jim Ware. The open-air dinner overlooked McGovern Lake, and H-E-B prez Scott McClelland was honored for his contributions to the park and to the community.
