This annual fundraiser kicks off the holiday season each year, always falling on the Monday after Thanksgiving. This year the date is December 1st. 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. Afterwards, they’ll be invited to kick back and enjoy a special version of the Radio Show featuring holiday carols, festive songs, and heartwarming stories. Musical acts for this year’s event include the Jonesborough Novelty Band, violinist Chloe Suarez, and the Thankful Baptist Church Mass Choir. Each guest receives a beautiful, hand-made ceramic ornament.
All the soups are prepared locally, 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 5:45 pm, soup service begins at 6:00 pm, and the show will start around 6:45 pm.
Seating is limited to 125, 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.
