Sparkling Lights at The Breakers
The Social Diary got an early start on Christmas. We celebrated it in style at Sparkling Lights at The Breakers on December 1st.
Rhapsody in Blue at 100
The Gilded Age Orchestra returned to Rosecliff to celebrate Rhapsody in Blue at 100. George Gershwin’s “jazz concerto masterpiece” however, wasn’t the only programme note. The Orchestra introduced critically successful composers of the day to a new audience.
Thriller Panel Author Series
Most of us can name a handful of authors who dominated thriller and crime fiction. These include Agatha Christie, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, John Le Carre and James Patterson. This is a short list, of course. But at the Thriller Panel author series at the Ocean House, a new selection of good reads awaited, with a fresh breed of gifted authors. They may not be household names yet, but given their track record, they are on their way to becoming a household staple.
Gilded Spiritualism and Northern Lights
On Thursday, October 10th a natural phenomenon occurred over Rosecliff. Could it be that the “spirits” were trying to make contact? After all, The Social Diary attended Spiritualism in the Gilded Age lecture. Alas, no! The beautiful dancing hues resulted from a G4 (severe) storm. So we are calling this story, “Gilded Spiritualism and Northern Lights.”
Newport Polo USA vs England
If you haven’t seen a game of polo, you are in for a treat. Nestled in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, the Newport Polo Club is America’s first, established in 1876. Whether you are new to polo, or a frequent watcher, the game of polo is accessible to all. Newport Polo USA vs England was our season ending for 2024. However, the Newport Polo final game was on September 28th.

Wild Imagination at the Newport Mansions
The opening night reception on Thursday, August 29, 2024 kicked off the new exhibit of Wild Imagination at the Newport Mansions.
