AWS Pittsburgh's John Eld Featured in Northland Public Library's Virtual Garden Gala


Northland Public Library's popular Garden Gala is back in virtual form this year! They’ll be sharing wine, cocktails and food demos, a variety of entertainment, and an online auction. 

Honorary Chair Peggy Finnegan will be hosting remotely as she enjoys her retirement as a beloved, longtime anchor at WPXI-TV. Wine expert John Eld returns as Honorary Sommelier; as always, he will offer excellent info about a few personally-selected wines. Event ticket-holders will be notified of the wine choices in advance so they can conduct their own tastes at home. 

The food and beverage demonstrators will include a surprise or two, from local chefs to local “celebrities!” Library staff will also have a few fun things to share with Garden Gala guests. 

VIP "Violet" tickets are sold out, but there are a very limited number of premier "Primrose" tickets available at the $70 level. Both VIP and premier ticket holders will receive Garden Gala swag items. General "Gardenia" tickets are available for a "pay what makes you blossom" amount (free will donation). All ticket holders receive a link for the virtual event on April 17. Click here to purchase a ticket.
