The Opening Reception will be held Wednesday evening at 5:30 p.m. across the street at Druid City Social. Built by the Louisville & Nashville (L&N) Railroad Company, the building that houses the Social was L&N’s passenger station from 1912 through the 1940’s and has been beautifully restored. We’ve got a fun night of food, music and fellowship planned, along with a little something extra for you. Come have supper with us and stay for the fun!
Caricature
Live caricature entertainment with The ToonHeadz! The ToonHeadz will provide three amazingly talented caricature artists providing personalized take-aways to remember this great event. Caricature is an awesome way to celebrate yourself in a fun way. Laugh out loud seeing your friends get drawn in an exciting process and also have the opportunity to get drawn yourself in only about 3-5 minutes. The best thing about all of this is that every drawing done is completely free! So walk away with a perfect personalized memento and enjoy the energy that caricature brings to the event.
