SUMMER IN THE CITY

Nashville touch adds pizazz to Cancer Society evening

As guests entered Summer in the City: Nashville, a gala for the American Cancer Society on June 7, they were handed the evening's signature drink, a Minnie Pearl, and like her famous hat, each drink had a tag hanging from the rim. The tags were for a drawing later in the evening. If a guest had a winning tag, he received a prize from Rock Town Distillery.

The event, held at Embassy Suites, also offered a Nashville-style photo booth, silent and live auctions, an opportunity to win jewelry and a Wall of Wine station. After a buffet dinner, the Faces of Cancer Honorees were introduced -- Laurie Smith, Lisa Yarnell, John DiPippa, Penny Burkhalter, Bob Robbins, Jan Burford and Leslie Harris.

David Adam Byrnes brought the entertainment. Jan Grimsley and Kyle Hoffman served as event co-chairmen.
