Forever Balboa Park put on its first-ever Balboa ParkGarden Partyon Saturday, and it was quite the scene.
Instead of your typical banquet room fundraiser, the event had lawn croquet, open-air painting and dancing at the Botanical Building and Central Gardens.
Spotted: A few city and county leaders, chess grandmaster Samy Shoker playing on a giant chess board and lots of colorful dresses with ruffles and feathers.
