APG Gala tops off 100th Anniversary year

On October 20, 2017, Harford County was the site of the “Party of the Century” – the Aberdeen Proving Ground Centennial Gala, the culminating event of APG’s 100th Anniversary celebration in 2017. More than 800 guests enjoyed a once-in-a-lifetime evening of music, dancing, fine wines, entertainment, in a beautiful Cabaret setting. Fireworks! Performances!
The Centennial Cabaret was followed by Harford County’s first After Party at the Speakeasy, where guests kicked off their shoes and rounded out the night with jazz, stimulating conversation, and a nightcap or two.
Net proceeds from the APG Centennial Cabaret benefited Harford County’s new APG Discovery Center, now in the planning phases to be located in the city of Aberdeen. More information at DiscoveryCenterMd.org.
