The Heritage Foundation hosted 275 people at Alexander Automotive with a spectacular vintage automobile collection, on Friday, July 31st, 2015.
Patrons enjoyed small bites of skewered watermelon with basil, herbed goat cheese in phyllo cigars along with sweet potato biscuits with blackberry jam provided by Homestead Manor. Gray’s on Main served two speciality drinks which were put to a vote for the signature drink for the Ball. The winner for this year’s speciality drink is-“The Blue Note.”
And in continuing with the blue, “Rhapsody in Blue” was revealed as the theme for the 42nd Annual Heritage Ball, the community’s longest running black tie event in Williamson County.
Chaired by Coleman and Cathi Aycock, this year proves to be one of the most memorable events of the year.
“We are honored to continue the Ball legacy that the ones who came before us brought to life,” Cathi Aycock said. “Living in Franklin for the past 26 years has given our family a greater appreciation for what this event represents. Franklin is a place that values, protects and preserves our cultural resources — but if it weren’t for the Heritage Foundation’s work, our community would not be the same shining jewel it is today.”
The 42nd Annual Heritage Ball will be held September 19th at the Eastern Flank Battlefield Park. To pre-purchase tickets or learn more, email Lynne McAlister at [email protected].
