More than 400 revelers ascended on Central Park for the first major costumed event of Halloween week in New York on Tuesday, October 26, 2010: the Central Park Conservancy’s Green Ball, its 15th annual Halloween party. Held mid-Park at Rumsey Playfield, guests enjoyed a night of festive costumes, dancing, dining and cocktails under tents transformed into a magical green wonderland, designed by Frank Alexander NYC.
Chaired by Suzanne and Robert Cochran and Co-Chaired Judy and John Angelo, Kristy and Jonathan Korngold, John Stossel, Anita and Stuart Subotnick, Patsy and Jeff Tarr, Julie Wurts, Kipton Cronkite, Corrente Schankler and Amy Tarr, the ball was a monster success. The event raised nearly $700,000 for the Conservancy and its mission to restore, manage and enhance Central Park.
Guests dined on pan-seared Creekstone Farms sirloin, chocolate brioche bread pudding and more from the mouthwatering menu by Danny Meyer’s Union Square Events; and danced to music by DJ Tom Finn.
Revelers included CPC President and Central Park Administrator Douglas Blonsky; NYC Parks Commissioner Adrian Benepe; Women’s Committee President Gillian Miniter with her husband Sylvester; emcee and WABC meteorologist Lee Goldberg; Spencer Wadama representing The Surrey hotel; Liz and Jeff Peek; Fiona and Eric Rudin; Jeff Tarr, Jr.; Fiona and James Benenson; Christine Cochran; Lauren Cochran; Judith-Ann Corrente; Vim Kooyker; Jennie Tarr Coyne; Chris Coyne; Clay Floren; Beatriz Garcia; Jennifer and Stephen Rich; and Sabrina Wirth.
WABC personalities Lauren Glassberg and Kemberly Richardson joined Harlan Bratcher, President and CEO of A/X Armani Exchange, to judge the wildly popular costume contest. The winners were: Best Group: The Tea Partiers; Best Individual: The Concession Lady, Julie Smith, who was a part of the Treasures of the Park group; Best Green Costume: The Tea Bag Couple, Rosalind and Ken Landis; and Best Couple: Sully and the Wayward Goose: Ana and Rick Blank.
