Spirits in October Preview Party boasts over 100 guests!

At the Spirits in October VIP/Media Preview Party last Friday, guests enjoyed musicians Sue Tomlin and Abby Owens and the living history presentations of several spirits!

Listen to what the guests had to say about the tour this year:

"I can't say enough
how impressed I was with the tremendous performances of your "spirits" in Friday's preview. I didn't think that you could top last year's, but you did!  You truly have made a difference in sharing history with an audience ... to make it touching and entertaining. "


~Sonya Rice, Public Relations & Partnership Manager, Macon-Bibb CVB

"The tour was fascinating and [the reception] in the mausoleum was great fun! I have run into several people the last few days who...remarked how fantastic the evening was."

~Susan Long, past President of the Vineville Neighborhood Association
