Join us for our 5th annual Making Spirits Bright – an evening with May O’Nays and Maker’s Mark.
Join the resplendent drag queen May O’Nays who will entertain as she teaches you to create your very own collection of Scandinavian Folk Art inspired ornaments. These hand embossed, tin-style ornaments add old world elegance to any Christmas tree or holiday display. In the class you will choose shapes to create from templates or be brave and go free hand. You can also choose to add some charm by treating your ornaments with paint to give a refined patina. Roy Lee with Maker’s Mark will be on hand to lead a special bourbon tasting and your ticket includes a seasonal Maker’s Mark cocktail to sip while you work. May O’Nays will perform a couple of numbers and a portion of proceeds will benefit Camp Beacon. Gather some friends and get your tickets today! All ages welcome but you must be 21 years of age or older to enjoy the bourbon tasting.
Cost: Tickets are $40 (tax included in final price) with each ticket donating a portion of proceeds to Camp Beacon.
