Friday 13, 2015 – Milkey AICR Fundraiser at historic venue NOVA 535
Back in 2014 we held a 50th birthday party for Kevin Milkey, hosted by his delightful wife Jeanne, here at NOVA 535, featuring the incredible dueling pianos from Rockin’ Pianos, delicious food from Puff n Stuff catering plus exciting other surprises.Well that party was so fun and successful the decided to host it again on Friday March 13, 2015 at St. Pete’s historic venue NOVA 535, yet this time instead of a birthday bash, they created a fundraiser for AICR – American Institute for Cancer Research and cleverly disguised it as a party. And wow what an incredible party we had!
Hostess with the mostess Jeanne Milkey, surrounded by her friends is surely a treat to work with! Thanks Jeanne!!
Below is a group enjoying my favorite college chant THE GATOR CHOMP!! Go Gators!
Above is Kevin Milkey – thanks again kind sir for all the wonderful things you and Jeanne do for our community! Even those things that are quite enjoyable like tasting our fabulous, delicious AND LOCAL selection of brews from 3 Daughters Brewing and Cigar City Brewing! And thanks to our hardworking, always 5 Star Team NOVA bar staff for keeping those thirsty guests smiling and satisfied all night!

The 3 superstar piano playing, singing, showmen from Rockin Pianos started at 8pm and they kept everyone fully entertained until midnight! Wow these guys are true entertainment warriors!
Along the way guests made their way upstairs to NOVA’s swanky VIP lounge and enjoyed the always delightful Mark Olsen and staff of our favorite photo booth company Get The Picture Florida Photobooths – Mark you rock brother!!
The food was plentiful and delicious, as always, from favorite caterer Puff n Stuff, bravo to Team Puff!! They even tempted everyone with fried doughnuts covered in icecream! OMG!
Below are all of the photos that I shot on my Cannon 6D. I’m a guy with a good camera but certainly not to be mistaken for a professional photog! Practice and lightroom editing certainly helps though I had to do some in B & W to help make up for my not yet mastery of the flash, and because B & W is cool!
Mark, thanks for grabbing my camera and catching a quick shot of me (below), as it’s much nicer than a quick selfie with a zoom lense (above)!
I do my best to help ensure the all of NOVA 535’s clients and guests receive a 5 Star experience and by working with other excellent vendors we (hopefully every single time) accomplish that! If you had a 5 Star experience please say something nice online about NOVA 535 as it’s most helpful and appreciated by our small local business! =D
