On the Circuit: Heritage Foundation Luncheon
The Heritage Foundation of Williamson County, TN held a lovely, late summer luncheon celebrating fifty years of the past chairs and Kings and Queens of the Heritage Ball at Southall Meadows. The 50th Annual Heritage Ball will be held at Eastern Flank Battlefield Park on Saturday, October 7.
The 63 attendees could not have picked a more beautiful day to celebrate the history of the Heritage Ball. The sparkling sun and the surprisingly crisp late August temps seemed to get everyone in the mood for the upcoming fall soiree. In fact, popular event designer Amos Gott created a lemon inspired luncheon with a nod to the golden anniversary. Guests were greeted with a glass of bubbly accompanied by music from a trio of classic string instruments playing pop tunes on the balcony level overlooking the luncheon.
Cater 615 prepared a bountiful summer menu trio plate with Four Cheese and Herb Quiche topped with local fresh tomato and basil relish, lemon and broccoli Caesar salad, southern chicken and pecan salad, a bread basket of focaccia, sweet muffins and lemon butter. For dessert, lemon ricotta bundt cake with fresh berries and lavender whip was served. Even the menus at each place setting were embellished with lemons.
Lemon tree topiaries, fresh yellow roses and gorgeous gold Greek key tablecloths topped each round table in fresh and festive abundance. Remarks were made by Bari Beasley, President and CEO of the Heritage Foundation and Board of Directors Chair David Garrett. Longtime supporter and Honorary Co-Chair of the ball Danny Anderson reflected on the history of the ball, as he has attended the ball 49 years.
The Heritage Ball is the longest running black-tie affair in Williamson County. Each year, more than 800 guests gather to support and celebrate the work of the Heritage Foundation and to raise funds for future preservation projects. In addition to a seated dinner and dancing, the ball features a cocktail hour, a substantial silent auction and other fundraising opportunities. And last, but not least, this elegant affair is a tremendous amount of fun!
