Come party like it's the 1920s and help raise funds for our museum's operating costs at our Bootlegger's Ball. Listen to live music, enjoy some booze, and watch your friends and family get put in jail! For $20, you can nominate your friends or family to have a warrant issued for their “arrest.” They’ll show up at the courthouse where a (retired) judge will sentence them to raise a certain amount of bail money before they can be released.
Folks are invited to enter a costume contest for $10 to showcase their very best 1920s attire. Plus, winners will receive half of the contest entry fees (so the more who enter the bigger the pot).
