FARMINGTON — Franklin County will have the chance to step back in time for one night this spring at the seventh annual Speakeasy Fundraiser.
Beginning at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 7, attendees will be ushered into the Farmington Grange for a full night of live jazz music, gourmet hors d’oeuvres, signature cocktails and glittering details straight from the 1920s.
Organized by Doug and Sherry Walrath, the Speakeasy has been a favorite event of many in the area, raising more than $30,000 for Care and Share Food Closet with its “Roaring Twenties” success. For the first time this year, a new group of community members will be organizing the event, with the support of the Walraths.
Music will be provided by the South Strong Road Crew & Friends. Many business owners and members of the community have donated.
All sponsorships and donations will support local food pantries in Franklin County, while proceeds from ticket sales will help fund the Senior Farm Shares. Tickets are $20. There will be a cash bar. A 1920s cocktail menu will also be available, with $1 of each drink going to beneficiaries of the event.
