Vintage Details Bolster 1940s Army Party by Historical Society of Palm Beach County
MIAMI/SOUTH FLORIDA The Young Friends of the Historical Society of Palm Beach County held its premier fund-raiser of the season April 20, a throwback, World War II-era swing-dance party. Inspired by the special exhibition “Paradise in Peril: World War II in Palm Beach County,” now on display at the Johnson History Museum, the evening mimicked a 1940s-style U.S.O. bash, with vintage army décor, big band music, classic cocktails, and even drinks in hip flasks.
