Heritage Party will raise money for local museum

Blytheville's Delta Gateway Museum will be hosting its third annual Heritage Party fundraiser next weekend. Following in the tradition of a decades theme, this year's event will be all about the 1960s.

Guests are encouraged to come in 1960s period dress, and will enjoy live music, dancing, hors d'oeuvres, a 60s-themed photo booth, silent auction and door prizes. Entertainment will include a dance demonstration by Blytheville High School's Dancing Chickasaws, an Elvis impersonator and Charlie Moody's band.

The event will be from 7-9 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 28. Tickets are $50 single or $80 per couple, and can be purchased in advance from the museum or at the door. All proceeds from the event go to support exhibit development for the museum.

For more information, call the museum at 870-824-2346, visit www.deltagatewaymuseum.org, or like Delta Gateway Museum on Facebook.
