Walter Scheib Hershey Entertainment and Resorts/ Hershey, PA

Celebrate the inauguration of our nation’s 44th President with a culinary caucus featuring former White House head chef Walter Scheib. An 11-year veteran of the most exclusive dining room in the country, Scheib will give us a taste of true executive privilege with this event modeled after the state dinners over which he presided.
