WELCOME VOLUME 4 n ISSUE 5 n HOSPITALITY MY BEST MEMORIES are those that include food, family, friends and a large portion of laugher. I can recall sitting on my grandmother’s kitchen floor with pancakes and Uncle John’s sausage listening intently to the wisdom of her words. To this day, those memories give me joy. These days, I make every effort to continue to create lasting memories with those I love from baking cookies with my granddaughter, to Sunday dinners with family and friends. FEATURES 14 ALBIN POLASEK MUSEUM & SCULPTURE GARDENS If you follow me on social media, you have no doubt seen how much I enjoy seeing and experiencing the world around me. If I’m not at the latest restaurant opening, I’m strolling through art galleries or even hosting IBA Cover Release mixers. For me, it’s all about being a part of, and creating, lasting memories in places I visit again and again. F ounded in 1961, the Albin Polasek Museum & Sculp­ture As the IBA editorial team assembled this issue, I couldn't help but recollect on all of my favorite places. I figured it would be a great idea to share some of my favorites in a new section entitled "Best Of" on page 18. Featured there are just a few gems that represent the best that life has to offer. Gar­ dens holds an art col­ lec­ tion focus­ ing pri­ mar­ ily on Amer­i­can rep­re­sen­ta­tional sculp­ture, with over 200 works by Czech-born Amer­i c ­ an sculp­tor Albin Polasek, pictured above with, "Man Carving His Own Destiny."
