PREVIEW PARTY

The Lake Forest Chapter of the Infant Welfare Society of Chicago hosted the sold-out opening night party to preview the 2025 Lake Forest Showhouse & Gardens. More than 700 guests were the first to see the transformed Pembroke Lodge Estate and celebrate the work of more than 45 top interior designers and landscapers. The evening featured lavish food stations with cuisine generously donated by jdR Companies’ Chef John des Rosiers. Cambio Tequila cocktails were served along with dancing under the tent to the beats of top party band Maggie Speaks. The event was co-chaired by Devon Jeffers and Laura Werner and 2025 Showhouse co-chair Shannon Shader. The Showhouse is celebrating its 20th anniversary and every ticket purchased raised essential funds for the Infant Welfare Society. lakeforestshowhouse.com
