Dear members and other friends of the Manchester Historic Association,
I am pleased to announce a new event presented by the Manchester Historic Association. On Thursday, November 19 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. the Millyard Museum will be the scene of the “Night at the Millyard Museum – Where History Comes to Life,” an event that is sure to please anyone who would like to mix a little history in with an evening of entertainment and holiday shopping. The evening will feature dancing, hors d’oeuvres, a cash bar, holiday shopping in the Museum Shop, and a silent auction with many affordable items. The museum’s historical exhibits will be open for viewing, and to help history come to life, the event is “costume optional.” Everyone is invited to come dressed in historically-themed costume, and prizes will be given out for the most outstanding examples. Entertainment will be provided by the popular local band, Soulhouse 7, performing a variety of soul, blues, R&B and rock favorites. Highlighting the evening will be a special stage show by Soulhouse 7 with their partners “The Blues Brothers – The Next Generation.”
Ticket prices are $35 ($25 for members of the Manchester Historic Association). Tickets must be purchased or reserved prior to the event. For tickets, stop by the Millyard Museum at 200 Bedford Street, any time from Wednesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., or the Research Center at 129 Amherst Street on Wednesdays or Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Or, you may order or reserve tickets by calling (603) 622-7531.
Would you like to help out by donating a silent auction gift?
We are looking for gift baskets, gift certificates, jewelry, decorative items for the household, holiday centerpieces, artwork, and craft items. All items must be new (unless you would like to donate an antique of some sort – we’re open to suggestions!). Your generosity as a donor will be noted on our website, at the event and in our Annual Report. Donors also receive two free tickets to the event (up to a $70 value). To donate, please contact me by e-mail, or call (603) 622-7531.
For complete details about this event, including an updated list of the silent auction gifts, visit the website www.manchesterhistoric.org.
We will hope to see you at “Night at the Millyard Museum – Where History Comes to Life” event!
Yours,
Aurore
