 Spirits in October: Best Year to Date
This year's Spirits in October was a HUGE success! With a VIP/Media Preview Party and six tour nights - some of which were completely sold out, the grand total of visitors to Riverside Cemetery is 600!
Thank you to all who supported the event by attending or telling a friend about it; volunteering as actors, docents, hosts, photographers, and hard workers; and partnering as individuals and businesses to donate door prizes and become sponsors.
Thanks to supporters like you, three local non-profits - Historic Riverside Cemetery Conservancy, Historic Macon, and Cox Capitol Theatre - will be able to continue making our community a better place to live, work, and play.
This event has been funded in part by a grant from the Knight Fund for Macon, which is a component of the Community Foundation of Central Georgia.
Special thank you to media sponsors, HHB Advertising and iMedia Group.
