The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society hosted the Philadelphia Flower Show Preview Party on March 4 at the Convention Center. It marked the 50th anniversary of the show, with this year's theme being "Explore America," celebrating the centennial of the National Park Service and the United States' majestic landscapes and rich history. More than 1,000 enjoyed the black-tie fund-raiser, which included an exclusive preview of the designs and displays of the Flower Show before it opened to the public, an award presentation, food and cocktails, and entertainment provided by "new-grass" band Sparkle Pony. The chair of the party was Thomas C. Woodward, Pennsylvania and Philadelphia Market president for Bank of America. Honorary chairs were Pennsylvania's first lady, Frances D. Wolf, and Dorrance "Dodo" Hamilton, who has won more than 1,000 blue ribbons in the Flower Show's Horticourt.
