The date for NGHF’s 3rd Annual 3BW is set! Friday February 26th, 2010 at Jamison Hall at the Factory at Franklin. Planning is underway, and if you would like to volunteer to be a part of this amazing event, email us at  .
This year’s event theme is “Red, White & Repeat” with all proceeds going directly to save the Franklin Theatre.
Cost is $25.00 per person plus 3 bottles of wine (1 Shiraz, 1 Pinot Grigio, and 1 repeat of either of these wines). Admission includes entertainment from Art Four Sale, food from your favorite local restaurants & chefs, and a cleansing bottle of water for each person during the tasting. The extremely popular Silent Auction will be back this year, as will the cash bar for beer lovers.
Advance reservations and pre-payment are required by calling 615.591.8500, Ext. 11 or by clicking on purchase
Cash only will be accepted at the door on the evening of the event for those not making advance reservations. This event is open to everyone 21 years and over. IDs will be checked at the door.
This party for a purpose continues to give all wine lovers, from a boxed wine enthusiast to a fine wine aficionado, the opportunity to taste different brands of Shiraz and Pinot Grigio while benefiting a great cause: saving the Franklin Theatre. Attendees will have the opportunity to compete and vote in this “blind wine” contest.
This 3rd annual wine event also includes a popular silent and live auction throughout the evening. Check in begins at 6:00 p.m. Teams of 1-3 people will bring a Shiraz, a Pinot Grigio and the 3rd bottle will be a “repeat” of one of the two. The first two bottles will be collected, disguised, and set out for tasting and voting. The “repeat” bottle is set aside unopened to be given to two Grand Prize winners. From 7:00 – 8:30 p.m. tasting and voting takes place. A live auction takes place on stage from 8:30 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. and the grand prize winners are announced along with the silent auction bid winners at 9:00 p.m.
Last year over 300 bottles were collected and this year’s event promises to be even bigger with a theme of an Italian Tuscan Night accompanied by an assortment of appetizers and desserts from local restaurants and vendors and live music from Art Four Sale. This year’s event will have two Grand Prize winners, each splitting the vault of “repeat” bottles. Second and third place will also receive a prize to be announced at the event! At the request of last year’s patrons the silent auction will be returning and the winners will be announced just before the Grand Prize!
The Next Generation Heritage Foundation consists of ages 21-40 and is part of the Heritage Foundation of Franklin and Williamson County. The non-profit Heritage Foundation, which works to protect local historic resources, purchased the 72-year-old Franklin Theatre in October 2007 for $1.75 million with plans of renovating and reopening it as a multi-use entertainment facility. The extensive renovations are currently underway, and this event is one of several planned this year that will benefit the efforts in saving this historic Franklin landmark. The goal is to reopen the Franklin Theatre in late fall 2010. |
