Kids in Candyland

Rapt Attention to the Story TellerKids

A couple of Monday's ago, Ralph Lauren’s daughter, Dylan Lauren, turned over her fabulously expanded emporium, Dylan’s Candy Bar, on Third Avenue at the corner of 60th Street, for the “Kids In Candyland” party for 300 guests of all ages, raising $80,000 to benefit Lenox Hill Neighborhood House’s children’s programs.

There was cookie decorating, story telling, Elmo and his troop of characters, mini hamburgers, sandwiches and, of course, candy for the kids; champagne Veuve Clicquot for the adults. Julie Dannenberg Regal and Alexandra Kramer were the chairmen.
