The Heritage Foundation of Williamson County, TN announces the Heritage Ball Late Party, produced by Next Gen Heritage Foundation, as an addition to the 46th annual Heritage Ball experience to be held at Eastern Flank Battlefield Park on Saturday, Oct. 5, 2019.

Heritage Ball chairs, Senator and Mrs. Bill Frist, are making the 46th annual Heritage Ball a multigenerational event with the addition of the Heritage Ball Late Party.

“In order to make a difference in our community, it is important to include people of all ages from different mindsets,” said Tracy Frist. “We are preserving our community for future generations and want to involve everyone’s input to make this a stronger coalition.”

Headed by Next Gen Late Party and Events Co-Chairs Sarah Locker and Katie Lillard, The Heritage Ball Late Party will be held from 8 p.m. to midnight. The black-tie affair will feature hors d’oeuvres, an open bar and dancing.

“Sarah and I are so excited to bring back the Heritage Ball Late Party this year at a time when both growth and preservation efforts in Williamson County are thriving,” said Katie Lillard. “The opportunity to raise awareness of the Heritage Foundation’s goals within the 21 to 40-year-old age bracket is a huge honor and we’re thrilled to be a part of it.”

The Next Gen Heritage Foundation group is comprised of preservation-passionate individuals, ages 21-40. The group’s missions include education in local history, preservation of places that matter and furthering a sense of  places that matter.
