2006 Partners in Preservation Party & Tast of the Town Presents "Football Frenzy & Tailgate party....THE 2ND HALF!"
If you thought last year's event was a "touchdown", join Main Street Collierville for Football Frenzy & Tailgate Party..THE 2ND HALF!, their 14th Annual Partners in Preservation Party & Taste of the Town. The event will be on Saturday, September 23, from 6:00pm to 11:00pm on Collierville's Historic Town Square. The party serves as Main Street's major fundraisor, which assists them in hosting many of the events held on the Square each year such as the Sunset on the Square Summer Concert Series, Out to Lunch and Christmas in Collierville.
"The purpose of these events is not only for the community and social aspect," stated Laura Todd, Executive Director of Main Street, "but also to bring focus to the Square and Historic District so that our children and grandchildren will be able to enjoy and appreciate their heritage." Todd continued, "Those who visit the Square leave with a sense of appreciation for small-town wholesomeness. It is vital that we preserve that heritage by attracting people to the Square."
Dinstuhl's chocolate fountain was a favorite stop for guests at the party.
Half-time entertainment will feature the great sounds of The AIMS Gang. Originally formed in 1997 of local musicians, many of whom played with other bands in the 60's and 70's, The AIMS Gang progressed from the ultimate "garage band" to rapidly becoming known as one of Memphis ultimate party bands. The group performs music from the 50's through many of today's songs, emphasizing classic rock and roll with a flair for the Memphis sound.
Along with the music, there will be over 20 area restaurants serving their specialities as part of the "Taste of the Town" gourmet event. Guests can enjoy strolling the "side-lines" of tents sampling a variety of foods. In addition to a tent-filled with silent auction items, the highlight of the evening will be a live auction featuring big-ticket items donated by area businesses.
Tickets to this event are available at the Main Street Collierville office. Tickets are $50 per person or $475.00 for a table of ten.
