Boardwalk treats will include sliders, hot dogs, fries, fish tacos, and wood fired pizza. Dancers can cool off at the open bar or be tempted by the beer tasting from Coast Brewery and a surprise signature "cocktail" that will throw you back to your dancin' days. The evening comes to a sweet end with unique, icy pops from the King of Pops and tidbits from local chocolatier Sweeteeth.

Charity auctioneer extraordinaire, Doug Warner, will conduct an energetic live auction featuring items and packages sure to tempt one and all. Auction highlights include two highly coveted Wanamaker Club tickets to the PGA Championship at Kiawah, a handmade Charleston joggling board, vacation home rentals (mountain and coastal) and an assortment of packages featuring parties, local gift certificates, jewelry and more. Please visit the Museum's website after April 4th for a full listing of auction items. 

Proceeds from the annual fundraiser are intended to benefit the planned renovation and improvement of the Museum's courtyard. Based on planning including consideration of possibly-significant revisions and enhancements of the existing space, the new Museum courtyard will be a visually attractive, peaceful, inviting space, functional and useful for both Museum social gatherings and programs.

Several members from the Lowcountry Highrollers (LCHR) will be on hand for a derby demo. The LCHR league consists of more than 60 skaters, coaches, referees, and officials from diverse backgrounds working together to promote and play the sport of flat track roller derby.

The Charleston Museum thanks the following for their generous support: Lowcountry Eats, A Southern Bartender, Sweeteeth, Lowcountry Highrollers, King of Pops, and Coast Brewing Company. A special thanks to local artist Victoria Platt Ellis for her original Beach Music watercolor (top) painted for the occasion.
