Coghlin Family Honorarium

In the evening, The Harvey Ball was an unparalleled night of fun and surprises when the Worcester Historical Museum honored the Coghlin Family at the Mercantile Center.
Guests were treated to spectacular entertainment by The MidTown Horns, delicious food by Struck Catering, and a surprise "Electric Avenue" dance number by Central Mass Dance Academy, and a fashion show by Local Smiley fashion icon Qlynton Carboo from Wavvz Concepts, and of course - the annual unveiling of the James Hogan Smile skirt which Nancy Coghlin donned for the finale!
The next big surprise was when Chris Coghlin jumped up on stage, grabbed a guitar and serenaded the crowd with "Summer of '69" with the MidTown Horns. Needless to say, the entire crowd was all smiles, all night long.
World Smile Day in Worcester!
