The fabulous Palm Restaurant in BH was the perfect venue to celebrate the launch of Microsol Equine Formulas, groundbreaking equine products that protect, heal & keep horses safe. Guests included Hall of Fame jockeys, trainers & prominent owners for cocktails & dinner, including world-renowned Jockeys Goncaleno Almeida and Kent Desormeaux, TV Film Producer & Polo Team Owner, Jonathan Burrows, Breeder Kaleem Shah, & leading trainer Alan Sherman. With a bevy of beauties like Kira Kazantsev (Miss America 2015 & Noelle Freeman (former Miss California) thrown in, it was a mixture of the Bold & the Beautiful indeed!

We have been fortunate to attend the Gypsy Awards for 20 years and among those honored were Joel Grey, Julie Andrews and Paula Abdul to name a few. This year, Carol Channing was to be the honoree, but the 94 year old legend’s health did not permit it. However, she was supported by a legion of other performers including Ruta Lee (who paid tribute to BFF Debbie Reynolds and Dick Van Dyke, who spoke lovingly about his deceased co-star, Mary Tyler Moore. When I say these performers were dancers — that, of course is only part of their talent — might I add actors, singers, producers & charming personalities.

Also honored was producer, singer, musical director, and fab video editor, Lee Hale. Lee brought along his Golddiggers (remember them from the Dean Martin Show)? These gals look as good as ever. And to top it all off, 4 time Emmy Award nominee, producer, director & choreographer, Mandy Moore also was lauded. Among her many hits was her contribution to the Academy Award flick, La La Land.

The super talented Carousel Dancers performed, and a special Choreographer Award was presented to Karen & Natalie Willis. Of course, the finale featured the Michael Rooney dancers tribute to Carol Channing, when a miniature Channing performed Hello Dolly, strutting her stuff for dancers of today. Nice to see the tradition continues!
