Notable Moments: Where else would a gala kick off with custom 3D-printed dog tags, dancing mylar balloon dogs and exclusive cocktails by Garrison Brothers Distillery, Mezcal De Los Santos and Tito’s Handmade Vodka? The Galaxy Gala, of course, and their grand return to an in-person event to celebrate their newest exhibit: Dogs! A Science Tail. The creative M Culinary menu was another highlight, including pumpernickel “kibble” croutons for the salad course and mashed “paw”tatoes to accompany the main dish. Congrats to “The Woof Pack” committee for a FUNdraiser like no other!
