Cakes & Cocktails is a very special opening reception for TCHM’s Centennial Hall exhibit, Old, New, Borrowed, Blue: Weddings in the Tri-Cities. The reception will take place amid displays of objects from the Museum’s collection and will let guests ‘taste the past’ with tastings of three recreated wedding cakes, plus three cocktails (mocktails will be available). The event is open to the public, and Museum members may use their member discount for their ticket purchase. Attendees are encouraged to dress for a wedding…whether as a bride, a groom, a mother-of-the-bride, attendant or guest; prizes will be awarded at the end of the evening for the best representation of ‘old’, ‘new’, ‘borrowed’ and ‘blue’!
