The Lehigh Valley Humane Society’s annual Garden Gala returns Saturday, May 16, 2026, from 3 to 7 p.m. at the Petersell 1808 Home, bringing together an elegant afternoon of food, music, and fundraising to support animals who need critical veterinary care. This year’s event will feature a plated dinner, a VIP cocktail hour with Seinfeld actor John O’Hurley, a silent auction, a wine pull, and live music from Kendal Conrad, along with a build-your-own-bouquet experience with Sterner’s Stems.
Abigail Stoudt, Bloomsburg University student and Lehigh Valley with Love Media intern, wraps up her summer podcast series with musician and influencer, Kendal Conrad, on location at Lit Coffee Roastery and Bakeshop, 26 E 3rd St., Bethlehem, PA.
