National WWI Museum and Memorial – Night at the Tower

Libby and Brad Bergman were the honorary chairs, and Katrina and Tom Henke and Kimberlee Ried and Erik Bergrud served as the event co-chairs of the National WWI Museum and Memorial’s annual Night at the Tower event on September 30th. Guests and food and beverages flowed throughout the venue, as they enjoyed a live auction, wine and whiskey tastings, trips to the top of the Tower, and more. The beautiful evening concluded in the Memorial Courtyard, where partygoers danced to the tunes of Lost Wax.
