Exploration was what really took center stage while statemen like
Senator Pat Roberts,
Congressman Frank Wolf and
Governor Martin O’Malley dined on Nova Scotia lobster and a trio of maple desserts before dancing in the spotlight of the Filene Center Friday evening.
The 2010 annual
Wolf Trap Ball was a celebration of Canada. And why Canada? “Why not Canada, eh?” joked Wolf Trap President and CEO
Terre Jones (at left), explaining that the evening’s theme was a focus on unique ties to our northern neighbor, shared values and a cultural connection. “We have so much to celebrate with Canada.”
Nearly 1,000 guests celebrated the National Park for the Performing Arts’ 39th annual Ball, raising money for its far-reaching arts and education programs.
“Next year is the 40th, so we’re looking to do something really big,” said Jones. “Maybe we’ll celebrate all of the countries that have been a part of this – that would be really, really big.”
Something to explore.
