Join Preservation Durham members and friends at Morgan Imports, corner of Gregson and Peabody Streets, on Friday night, November 12 for the 2010 Preservation Party and Fall Fundraiser. Kick-off your holidays with style, fun, and excitement all to benefit Preservation Durham! The party opens at 6:00pm and closes at 9:30, and admission is FREE. Host Morgan Imports donates 10% of their sales proceeds that night to Preservation Durham, so plan to purchase your holiday gifts and decorations during the festivities! Other Peabody Place and Brighleaf Square merchants also contribute prizes to the silent auction or a percentage of their party-night proceeds to support Preservation Durham's programs.
Every year, partygoers enjoy delicious food provided by Peabody Place restaurants. Music by jazz guitarist Bob Tapp will provide a festive tone as partygoers shop for holiday gifts for friends, relatives, and maybe even for themselves! Strolling emcee and Durham history mavin Tom Miller challenges partygoers with the ever-popular Durham History Quiz, awarding fabulous prizes for correct answers. Note to trivia players: watch Tom's eyebrows for help with those more difficult questions about the Bull City! Place bids on exciting goods and services offered in the Preservation Party Silent Auction. Prizes donated by our generous sponsors have included items such as a weekend at Topsail Island, a night at Durham bed and breakfast inns, gift certificates for meals at many Durham restaurants, and gift baskets for goods and services from many more Durham businesses. All proceeds of silent auction sales support Preservation Durham's preservation programs.
