This annual fundraising event kicks off the holiday season each year, always falling on the Monday after Thanksgiving. The McKinney Center and the cast of the StoryTown Radio Show present this unique event which brings together food, art, music, and storytelling.Guests are warmed in body and spirit as they are treated to a delicious dinner of soup, salad, bread, and cookies. Afterward, they’ll be invited to a sing-along with the cast and the Jonesborough Novelty Band in a holiday performance of carols, songs, and stories. This year’s event will also include the talents of the jazz quartet Portail du Son from Dobyns Bennett High School and the Thankful Baptist Church Mass Choir. Each guest receives a beautiful, hand-made ceramic ornament created by local artists.
All the soups are locally sourced, with at least one vegetarian option available. Guests may continue to fill their bowls, trying one or all the delicious offerings.
Tickets to this fundraising event are $35 and will support the McKinney Center’s special programming, including the StoryTown Radio Show. The doors open at 5:30 pm, soup service begins at 6:00 pm, and the show will start around 6:45 pm.
Seating is limited to one-hundred-twenty-five, and purchasing tickets well in advance is recommended, as the event regularly sells out ahead of time.
Guests may purchase tickets online at Jonesborough.com/tickets or by calling the Historic Jonesborough Visitors Center at (423) 753-1010.
