Visitors Celebrate the
"Roaring Twenties" During New Adult Evening Event at Rochester Museum &
Science Center
ROCHESTER,
NY—Community members jump'n jive their way back
to the 1920s during a new speakeasy-style event at the Rochester Museum &
Science Center (RMSC) called Repeal!: A
Prohibition Era Event. Attendees get a glimpse of what the Prohibition era
was like and how America changed after the 18th amendment.
Repeal! takes place from 7pm to 10pm
on Friday, March 8. Attendees must be at least 21 years old to attend.
Visitors
experience all three floors of the Museum in a new way by enjoying a live band,
various activities, snacks and a cash bar. During the event, costume-clad
attendees can:
- Experience live Big Band
music performed by The Uptown Groove.
- View classic black and
white films in the RMSC's Bausch Auditorium.
- Watch professionals make
popular mixed drinks of the 1920s, like a "highball" and cocktails that include
eggs!
- Participate in a 1920s era
trivia game.
- Enjoy popcorn from a
carnival popcorn popper.
"We are happy to offer Repeal!, a new event unlike anything
we've hosted before, for our young adult and adult audiences," said Joelle
Adolfi, program supervisor, RMSC. "This is a great opportunity for friends to
get together, dress up, slip back in time and have fun experiencing life in the
1920s."
Admission
to Repeal! is $15 for the general
public and $12 for RMSC members. Registration is highly encouraged. Call
