Cakes & Cocktails

May 23, 2025 
5:00 - 7:00 pm

'Cakes & Cocktails' is a very special opening reception for TCHM’s Centennial Hall exhibit, Old, New, Borrowed, Blue: Weddings in the Tri-Cities. This ticketed event will take place amid displays of objects from the Museum’s collection and will let guests ‘taste the past’ with tastings of three recreated wedding cakes, plus three cocktails (mocktails will be available). This event is open to the public, and Museum members receive their member discount!

Attendees are encouraged to dress for a wedding…whether as a bride, a groom, a mother-of-the-bride, attendant or guest; prizes will be awarded at the end of the evening for the best representation of ‘old’, ‘new’, ‘borrowed’ and ‘blue’!
