The annual Pennsylvania Society weekend kicked off a whirlwind of events last Friday. As usual, the commonwealth's political class assembled for nonstop schmoozing, networking and mingling. Far from usual was the setting of the society's 119th annual dinner. Due to the two-year renovation of the Waldorf-Astoria, the black-tie gala was moved to the New York Hilton Midtown.
To get a glimpse of just who was where, scroll through the photos below:
