Museum to host White Night

| July 11, 2013

COSHOCTON – Gather together under the stars for White Night, an outdoor dinner event sponsored by the Friends of the Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum. The event will take place on Whitewoman Street in front of the museum Saturday, Aug. 3.

The street scene will be arrayed in white with luminaries and twinkling lights, and participants are encouraged to wear all white. Diners are to bring their own culinary creations as well as table decorations and service. White is the theme and elegant the modus operandi. The museum will provide tables, chairs, sparklers and radiant atmosphere. Wine will be sold by the bottle or glass.

At 6:30 p.m. the evening of the event, the table hosts may set up their tables. At 7:30 p.m. the fete formally begins with a toast to the museum and to the splendid White Night. We’ll have a unified igniting of sparklers to end the gala, bidding each other good night. Creativity is encouraged with prizes awarded to the most elegant and the most creative tables.

A variety of table sizes will be available. Tickets for the event are $10 per person, covering the cost of the use of a table, chairs and sparklers. Diners are encouraged to pre-order their wine to ensure the right pairing for their menus. The wine list is available at the museum or on its website.

White Night is a fundraising event for the Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum. You may purchase your tickets and wine at the museum, by phone or website available after Wednesday, July 17 (www.jhmuseum.org). Tickets must be purchased by Monday, July 29. (Please note that JHM’s liquor license does not permit participants to bring their own alcohol.) The museum is located at 300 N. Whitewoman St. Contact JHM at 622-8710 or e-mail [email protected].
