Welcome...For the past thirteen years, the Garden Party at the Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art at Ligonier Valley has been a summer highlight for SAMA and the community. The Garden Party has grown to become a signature event for the Museum with funds raised from the event helping to maintain museum operations and keep the doors to SAMA’s four facilities open to the public free of charge.
This very special event is recreated each year through the efforts of an involved auxiliary, a committed SAMA staff, and other active volunteers who work tirelessly to make this an enjoyable evening for everyone in attendance. It is a unique experience designed to capitalize on the beauty of our gardens and the Museum’s idyllic location in historic Ligonier.
The Garden Party offers something different and something very special in 2014 – The Thrill of the Hunt for Art. The fox hunt has a long and storied history in the Ligonier Valley and SAMA is proud to partner with the Rolling Rock Hunt Club to bring the energy and enthusiasm of this heralded event to the Museum’s constituents.
Our featured exhibition, Scrap Redefined, celebrates the work of Mei Greer and Ronald Nigro. It is an inspired conceptual exhibition with Greer’s scrapyard imagery and Nigro’s repurposed assemblage sculptures. Both artists help us discover treasures in the scrapyard. The blend of 2-D and 3-D art results in a tour de force exhibition that you will find interesting, evocative and enjoyable.
Garden Party Co-Chairs, Gretchen and Joseph Griffith and Barbara and Gene Kravits, did a remarkable job in planning, organizing and launching The Thrill of the Hunt for Hunt. I sincerely appreciate all that our Co-Chairs did to make this year’s Garden Party a success. Your attention is directed to the program that highlights the members of the Garden Party Committee, whose efforts and hard work also contributed to the event’s success. I thank the Museum staff for their efforts in making the Garden Party a very special evening. Finally, let me express my appreciation to our Site Coordinator, Sommer Toffle, who worked tirelessly in curating the exhibition and in coordinating the Garden Party event.
I am confident that The Thrill of the Hunt for Art will be an enjoyable celebration, a delightful event and an enjoyable evening for our guests. This year’s Garden Party sets the stage for us to get together again next year at the Ligonier Valley Museum. Gary Moyer
Executive Director
4 The Thrill of the Hunt for Art
Welcome and thank you for coming to the Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art at Ligonier Valley’s thirteenth annual Garden Party,
“The Thrill of the Hunt for Art.” This fundraiser is created to celebrate our current exhibition, Scrap Redefined: Works by Mei Greer and Ronald Nigro, and provide much needed support for upcoming exhibitions and programming.

Tonight we are honoring and offering a special thank you to two distinguished members of our Auxiliary and friends Madelon Sheedy and Helen Thorne. Their support and dedication to the Museum is immeasurable and very much appreciated
This benefit would not be possible without the perseverance and generosity of many hardworking individuals. The devotion and tireless efforts of our Garden Party Honorary Chairs, Christina Henderson, Sophie Mellon and Fritz Teroerde, and our Event Chairs, Barbara and Gene Kravits and Gretchen and Joseph Griffith, is incomparable. Augmenting their efforts were the hardworking members of our Steering Committee, whose knowledge and dedication contributed significantly to the success of this evening’s event. A special thanks to Graphic Designer, Bonnie Hoffman.
I thank the officers of our Ligonier Valley Museum Auxiliary: President, Barbara Kravits; Vice President, Gretchen Griffith; Secretary, Susan Kiren; Corresponding Secretary, Joyce Collins; and Treasurer, Bonnie Hoffman. Each has done an incredible job leading our Auxiliary in supporting and promoting our Museum. I also acknowledge the other members of our Museum Auxiliary for their continued support and devotion.

We are grateful to our sponsors, donors, Ernie Vallozzi and his staff, floral contributors, vendors, and everyone else who has donated their time, services and talents to make this fundraiser a success. My gratitude is extended to the Trustees of the Emma Clyde Hodge Memorial Fund for their exhibition support.

6 The Thrill of the Hunt for Art
Chairs’ WelcomeWe, the chairs of the thirteenth annual Garden Party, The Thrill of the Hunt for Art, want to welcome you to the Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art at Ligonier Valley. For this year’s event, SAMA is closely linked with the Rolling Rock Hunt Club. Just as the Masters and the huntsmen seek the thrill of the hunt, we are always on the hunt for art like that of contemporary artists Mei Greer and Ronald Nigro being featured at this year’s exciting event, along with works of the various artists who so graciously contributed for this evening’s auctions.
It is a delight to have as honorary chairs of The Thrill of the Hunt for Art, Masters of the Hunt, Christina Henderson, Sophie Mellon and Fritz Teroerde. Not only are they Masters of the Hunt, they are ardent supporters of the arts which grace their lives. We respectfully thank them for all their support for this event and their commitment to the Hunt and the arts. We are highly honored to partner with The Rolling Rock Hunt Club which was established in nineteen hundred twenty by Richard King Mellon. The club originated with Mr. Mellon’s idea, the purchase of two and one-half couples of American Foxhounds and the original Huntsman. From that time forward the Rolling Rock Hunt has officially remained a tradition here in the Ligonier Valley for ninety years and has encompassed traditions that go back for generations throughout the world.
An event like The Thrill of the Hunt for Art requires much work, planning and support not only from our devoted SAMA Auxiliary members, but also from the community. This event is the Museum’s major fundraising event of the year and is instrumental to the operations of SAMA-Ligonier Valley. The funds raised at this event will help to continue a cultural environment which includes various programs and exhibitions that serve Ligonier as well as the Laurel Highlands and beyond. The event would not be possible if it were not for our cadre, sponsors, advertisers, silent auction donors, artists, museum staff, auxiliary members and friends, caterer, gardener, Nancy Everson and The Pony Club, the hounds, the huntsmen and Hunt Club members.
The Thrill of the Hunt for Art 7
We give a grateful thank you to Gary Moyer, Executive Director, and Sommer Toffle, Site Coordinator, for giving the Chairs free reign, total trust and support for all aspects of this event. This encompasses the initial conception of the idea through all of the extensive planning of The Thrill of the Hunt for Art, allowing this event to explore a new concept and direction on which to build. A special acknowledgment must go to the SAMA Auxiliary of Ligonier for all their continued support not only for this event but all events and projects involving our Auxiliary. Finally, kudos go out to this year’s SAMA Auxiliary Honorees, Helen Thorne and Madelon Sheedy, for their tireless efforts in supporting Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art in far too numerous ways to mention here and the unselfish contributions they continue to make to the benefit of this very special Museum.
The festive and creative atmosphere for this evening is made possible through the joint efforts of the Rolling Rock Hunt Club and the Cadre who have worked tirelessly to create an atmosphere of tradition, frivolity, spirit, thrills and entertainment all in the name of art. Finally, we thank each and every one of you for joining us in the thrilling hunt for art. Enjoy your evening in our splendid gardens all for the benefit of the Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art at Ligonier Valley.

12 The Thrill of the Hunt for Art
SOUTHERN ALLEGHENIES MUSEUM OF ART AT LIGONIER VALLEY
acknowledgesThe Rolling Rock Hunt Club
Established 1920The sport of foxhunting has a very rich American history. Foxhunting was carried on in the British colonies in America as early as 1650, when the first pack of hounds was brought to Maryland from England. It became the favorite pastime of several United States Presidents, judges, senators and Navy and Army officers. Much of George Washington’s spare time was devoted to foxhunting and Martha Washington also hunted occasionally.
Over time, riding to hounds developed from the pre-Revolutionary period when English settlers rode individually and unrestricted to a well-established sport, loved by both sexes and the very young as well as the aged. In 1907 the Master of Fox-hounds Association of America was formed to register Hunts and the breeding of their foxhounds and establish rules and standards for the sport to be conducted in a sportsmanlike manner.
Foxhunting in Ligonier, Pennsylvania originated in 1920 with American Foxhounds acquired from Virginia by Richard King Mellon, who had developed a love for the sport after he hunted with the Westmoreland Hunt in Greensburg, Pennsylvania. He was convinced that foxhunting in Ligonier would be successful and the following year he travelled to England and acquired eight and one–half couple of the best hounds avail-able as the foundation of a first class pack at The Rolling Rock Club. In 1921 the Rolling Rock Hounds were officially established as a private pack and in 1925 organized into a membership pack. Through thoughtful breeding and importing more hounds from England over the years, the Rolling Rock pack has earned a state of excellence in all respects. They hunt brilliantly and are constant winners at important hound shows.
While in England, R. K. Mellon also decided on the scarlet and royal blue colors for Rolling Rock. Today the privilege of wearing the scarlet coat with the distinctive blue collar can be earned by hunting regularly for several seasons.
Today, following the pack of hounds through the Ligonier Valley is a multi-tiered ex-perience enjoyed by horses, hounds, riders, landowners and spectators alike. The fox is chased by the hounds who are followed closely by the staff and not too far behind by the riders and car followers over hill and dale. The fox is rarely killed and never by human hand. He decides when the chase is over and pops into a hole in the ground and thus ends the chase. Some foxes have been known to wait for the hounds to get close and to lead them on a merry chase until he has had enough, while others hear the hounds coming and hide as fast as they can.
The Thrill of the Hunt for Art 13
If you see the Hunt riding through the Valley you may be interested to know it is well-orchestrated exercise. It is the thrill and art of the Hunt. The fox is ultimately in charge of the day’s events. If he chooses to run, he is followed by the hounds. The hounds are managed by the Huntsman who interprets their every move and sound and follows accordingly. The Huntsman is assisted by staff called “whippers-in”. The whippers-in act as a sort of wing on the soccer field, the ball is the hounds, and staff are in charge of keeping the hounds in play and not going out of bounds, finding themselves on a busy road or in a landowner’s garden. It is the group of riders, called “the field,” and the car followers who enjoy this ballet and follow at a safe distance, riding through field, woods and stream, all in the pursuit of the enjoyment of riding through the Ligonier countryside.
At present the Rolling Rock Hunt meets twice a week at different fixtures, thanks to the co-operation and generosity of landowners. It is a true family sport, where sometimes three generations of family members can be seen on horseback following the hounds through the beautiful Ligonier Valley.
The Rolling Rock Pony ClubEstablished 1954
The United States Pony Clubs, Inc. develops character, leadership, and confidence and a sense of community in youth through a program that teaches the care of horses and ponies, riding and mounted sports.
The Rolling Rock Pony Club is one of the original thirteen clubs that joined as a founding member when the United States Pony Clubs, Inc., linked their founding charter in the spring of 1954.
Over 60 years later, RRHPC continues this mission along with certain key values such as horsemanship, organized teamwork, respect, service and education through mounted horseback riding lessons, riding camps, team rallies and un-mounted education sessions held at the RRHPC grounds.
Youth learn about all aspects of horsemanship including equine health care, nutrition, stable management and the handling and riding of a mount safely and correctly with confidence. Club rallies foster a supportive yet competitive environment that stresses cooperation, communication, responsibility, leadership and mentoring. Respect for horses, others and land is developed through service, teamwork and land conservation education.
The Rolling Rock Pony Club provides an opportunity for members, parents and others to support the program through volunteerism. Education is individually paced to help achieve personal goals and expand knowledge taught by experienced professionals and also through member-to-member teaching. Lessons taught in the Pony Club spill over from the barn into a member’s whole life. That’s what makes Pony Club and RRHPC so special.
