Indulge Yourself in A Chocolate Affair

March 25, 2009 - PRLog -- The Southern Cultural Heritage Foundation proudly presents A Chocolate Affair on Thursday, May 7th at 7:00pm in the Auditorium.  This elegant evening will include a plethora of chocolate desserts, drinks and entertainment by local piano extraordinaire, Jim Robinson, and the sweet vocal sounds of Maria Adona.  Tickets are available in advance only and are $15 per person for SCHF members and $20 for nonmembers.  Tickets go on sale Monday, April 13th and are available at the SCHF Business Office and Paper Plus.  

A Chocolate Affair is a new twist and addition to an enjoyable evening in Vicksburg.  The many scrumptious chocolate desserts and assortment of drinks are being sponsored by Café Anchuca, Just Desserts, Main Street Market, The Liquor Store, and Ameristar Casino.  The SCHF has partnered with local businesses and if you present your Chocolate Affair ticket the night of the event at either Monsour’s at the Biscuit Company, Café Anchuca, Beechwood Restaurant and Toney’s Restaurant, they will provide 10% off your dinner purchase.  

The auditorium will be transformed into a room of sophistication and charm by the local talents of Uptown Florists and Gifts.
   
“This unique fundraiser will be an extra avenue to increase funds for our many events and programs we conduct here at the Center and it will also assist in some extra maintenance issues that periodically occur,” says Annette Kirklin, Executive Director of the SCHF.  “It also is a pleasure working together and partnering with local businesses, it is what makes the community come together.”  

Space is limited and advanced ticket purchase is required.  For more information or to purchase tickets, please call the SCHF office at 601-631-2997 or email info@southernculture.org.
