Gala - A Taste of Old Southern Charm (without Souvenir)

This Wednesday, July 31, 2024 event lets you sample Southern Cuisine with some chocolate and boot scootin’ boogie added in!

Give your taste buds a treat as you sample Southern Cuisine that includes: Shrimp and Grits, pimento deviled eggs, pecan chicken bites, a choice of sorghum pulled pork slider with sweet pickles on a biscuit or Nashville “hot” chicken on a white roll, chopped Tennessee wedge salad, Jack Daniels bread pudding, and of course sweet tea.

The evening will also celebrate the Nashville/Franklin area!

In 1912, the Goo Goo Chocolate Company (which began as the Standard Candy Company) invented America’s first combination candy bar. Before that, bars were solid chocolate. For those who want to celebrate this yummy history, the Goo Goo Chocolate Company will be on site! You can customize a hockey puck sized cluster with your favorite ingredients. They will seal it with chocolate and pack it in a box so this souvenir is ready at the end of the evening to take home for yourself or someone else.

Then it will be time to get on your feet when a charming line dance company teaches you some line dancing moves.

Boot and hats are not required to join in this fun.

This event is a great time to socialize and will include a silent auction, raffles, and door prizes. A cash bar will also be on site if you want to sample Tennessee’s own Jack Daniels or other libation.

This year two options are offered:
