Booth Museum To Celebrate 10th Anniversary with Western Swing Dance

Friends of Cartersville's Booth Western Art Museum are set to celebrate its 10th anniversary with a party and you're invited! 

Museum members and guests are invited Saturday, Aug. 3, at 7 p.m., to an evening of entertainment, hors d’oeuvres and drinks, a visual presentation of the museum’s 10-year history, and dancing with music by Swing South. The fun happens in the Booth Ballroom.

The Western Swing Dance was proposed by a group of Booth members as an another opportunity to support the museum after a decade of service. 

“It is the mission of the museum to educate, entertain and inspire guests through the exploration of Western Art, popular culture and American heritage in a welcoming environment,” Director of Marketing Tom Shinall said in a release. “Over the past 10 years, the museum has gained so much from our membership and this event is an example of their willingness to get involved.” 

As the third event of the Booth’s 2013 Summer Entertainment Series, the Western Swing Dance will encourage members and guests to kick their heels up in celebration, according to the press release. Western swing band Swing South will provide live music in the style of former featured entertainer Asleep at the Wheel. 

Attendees will enjoy heavy hors d’oeuvres and receive two drink tickets to be used at the cash bar, the release says. The fun continues with a visual presentation highlighting 10 years of Booth Museum exhibits, events, interviews and information. 

As a favor for attending the event, members and guests will also receive a souvenir 10th-anniversary Booth Western Art Museum belt buckle. 

Tickets for the Western Swing Dance are $60 for Booth museum members and $75 for not-yet-members. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased by calling 770-387-1300 or by visiting the museum.
