Ella Sharp Museum Patio Party.  You’re in luck – there’s no need to make dinner on Thursday! We saved space, so you can feast on tacos and nacho salad by Shorties Sweets, Eats & Treats while listening to summer music by Larry Sumner Jr. over drinks (cash bar). RSVP today then join us on Ella’s Patio from 5 – 7 pm, July 28th with our guest honor, Jackson’s Mayor Daniel Mahoney.  2022 Patio Parties are free for members and just $10 per person for non-members. Kids 10 and under also are free with family. Not a member – there’s never been a better time to support the museum… We’ve got some roaring things, plus two more patio parties, lined up! Join us here.  Limited capacity – Pre-registration required. RSVP below or call 517.787.2320 during business hours to register.
