The 100th anniversary party for of one of Pittsburgh’s oldest historical landmarks featured cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, dinner, silent and live auctions, and music by the Dr Zoot Band. Allegheny County Executive Dan Onorato served as the honorary chair, and Executive Vice President of Corporate Relations for the Allegheny Conference of Community Development Bill Flanagan served as master of ceremony for the black-tie event. “Everyone there is involved with the museum, so it was a recognition of those people,” said Ashley Moss, owner of Hello Productions, which planned the event. “It also brought in people from counties around Pittsburgh, which will hopefully increase support.”
