FARM TO TABLEAUX: Benefiting Ryker’s Rainbow
POP! Goes the Warhol
FTT is a unique and entertaining event that playfully unites the Farm-to-Table culinary trend with a contemporary interpretation of "tableaux vivants" (French for living pictures). Join us for an evening of charity benefiting Ryker's Rainbow which will feature fresh and locally-sourced dishes, signature cocktails, beer and wine, and the opportunity to experience multiple living tableauxs inspired by Warhol!
What to Expect:
Hor d’oeurves, custom cocktails, local beer and wine to be enjoyed as you explore and step into “tableaux vivants” inspired by Andy Warhol. These vivants will be more than insta-worthy!
Farm-to-Table seated dinner catered by Chupper Time Catering using local and fresh ingredients
Silent and Live Auctions that you will not want to miss (think fun destinations, unique experiences and an array of goodies from local vendors)
Mystere Box Raffle (only 100 raffle tickets sold for a mystery surprise)
Entertainment by well-known speed artist, Michael Israel, who famously painted the 9/11 tribute "Hero"
*Hor d'oeurves, cocktails/wine/beer, and dinner are included in your ticket purchase
*VIP tickets will be available

Five Candles: A Dinner of Remembrance
Ryker’s Rainbow is holding our first annual Dinner of Remembrance at Burritt on the Mountain. This will be an evening of community and celebration as we light five candles in remembrance: One for grief, for courage, one for memories, for our love, and one for our HOPE.
Invocation will be given by Rev. Wren Clanton and our guest speaker, Amy George from the Huntsville Hospital Foundation and co-founder of Melissa’s fund, will share a message of hope. There will be a candlelight ceremony and remembrance video where each baby or child will be honored, as well. Dinner will be provided by Ryker’s Rainbow.
This event is FREE for two adults, and does require an RSVP due to limited space. We kindly request no children.
