The menu includes Cuban-style roast pork, fried chicken (both regular & spicy) and tamales furnished by the museum and whatever you -- our members, supporters & guests -- bring in the way of appetizers, salads, covered dishes & casseroles ALONG with some of the awesome desserts for which many of you are so famous!
The current plan is to set up outside; however, we have already decided that Thursday’s weather forecast for LaBelle will determine that day whether tables and chairs are set up in the rear patio area or inside the main building itself.
The Aiken-Rider House and Judge Rider’s Law Office will both be open to allow you to see how they look now and to picture in your mind’s eye what we have planned for both buildings. If you bring guests, please increase your food offering.
Looking forward to seeing you this coming Thursday for dinner to start at 6 o’clock (this means you should show up by 5:45 p.m.) and installation to start as early as 6:30 but no later than 6:45 p.m.
