Vinings Historic Preservation Society is celebrating its twentieth anniversary this year. To commemorate this special occasion, VHPS will host a “Celebration of Preservation” cocktail and dinner party commemorating the Society’s preservation efforts. The evening will also honor the family of the late Felix Cochran, the developer of Vinings Jubilee. Felix’s vision was to build a “town center” that would feature turn-of-the century architecture celebrating the community’s colorful past.
The exquisite affair will take place on Saturday, Nov. 9, at 7 p.m. at The Historic Pace House and Old Pavilion on Paces Mill Road. The party will benefit the Society’s Keeping Pace capital campaign, now in its second year of fundraising to support much needed restoration of the historic buildings located in the center of ViningsVillage and under the care of VHPS.
The affair will be designed by Avenue Event Design and will feature the creative cuisine of Avenue Catering Concepts, both divisions of Saratoga Event Group. Montaluce Winery and Estates will provide the wine pairings for the evening. The event Chairs, Holly Gardner, Josie Carlyle and Rebecca McCune promise an evening to remember.
For more information please contact Gillian Greer at 770-432-3343 or visit our website at www.vinings.org. Donations to the Keeping Pace capital campaign may also be made on the website.
