GLITZ, GLAMOUR AND PHONOGRAPH MUSIC FROM THE PAST
Tallulah Bankhead, granddaughter of Alabama Senator and Bankhead Highway promoter John Bankhead was a colorful character in the early era of filmmaking. The Franklin County Arts Alliance is hosting a Glitz & Glamour Soiree on Friday 6 p.m., September 9th in her honor and to open up the Franklin County Arts Alliance DRIVEN Film Festival celebrating film and the Bankhead Highway that begin traveling past the Mt. Vernon town square just four years before the Franklin County Courthouse, just recently renovated, was built.
Classically trained at Le Cordon Bleu in Dallas, Caterer & Certified Personal Fitness Chef, Donna Copeland has spent countless hours on this fundraiser concocting a crystal and high-end culinary experience that alone would dazzle guests, but topped off with the unforgettable deep-throated sound of 1920-30’s phonograph record music this gala promises a classy start for the festival. Both Chef Donna and Dustin Ellis from the Mt. Pleasant Edison Phonograph Museum will be on hand to greet guests and share their expertise.(Photo courtesy of Donna Copeland.)
