With confirmed cases of the coronavirus in the state, party organizers continue to cancel social events as a public safety measure.
Three parties High Profile planned to cover the week of March 8-15 -- the Evolve Gala for Centers for Youth and Families, Arkansas a la Carte for Arkansas Children's Hospital and Easterseals Arkansas Fashion Event -- were postponed.
Today we give you a look-back at what those parties looked like in 2019 -- with the hope that the 2020 events will go on later this year.
"Oh, the Places You'll Go" was the Dr. Seuss-inspired theme of Evolve Gala 2019. Guests were greeted by volunteers in the atrium wearing tall Cat in the Hat-style hats.

At the 2019 Easterseals Arkansas Fashion Event, the Easterseals clients were the stars, outshining the community members and professional models who also appeared on the runway.

This year's Fashion Event is rescheduled for June 11.
Balloons in an array of colors and sizes ran the length of Arkansas Children's Hospital's Children's Hall ceiling providing a cheerful bit of color for the 2019 Arkansas a la Carte.
The hospital has not yet announced a new date for the event.
