The Palm Beach Film Festival was held at the Eau Hotel in Manalapan on Saturday evening. We walked into
the hotel and were greeted by our host and hostess Yvonne and Al Zucaro. We were shown into a party room where two young ladies were making apple martinis which were delicious. I spotted many familiar faces in
the crowd from Boca Raton including Jon and Bonnie Kaye, Arlene Herson and Bob Fraiberg. Cyndi Bertakis,
former Congressman Mark Foley and several others
We were than escorted into the main ballroom where a buffet dinner was being served consisting of Prime Rib, Caesar Salad, assorted sliders, and several different pasta dishes. A great band played dance
music for the crowd.
Several award presentations were made the first by Yvonne Boice Zucaro, the PBFF Chairman to George
Elmore for 20 years of dedication to the film festival. The next award was presented to Eva Hill of
Britannia Pacific Properties which owns the Eau Hotel and the last award went to Randi Emerman for
her 20 years of dedication to the film festival and Randi accepted an award for actor Joe
Manganiello who could not attend the event due to a scheduling conflict as he is shooting the new
Magic Mike movie in Georgia.
