The Eureka Springs Historical Museum is pleased to announce a brand new museum fundraiser event for 2024 - THE JAILBIRD BALL!
---------------------------------
HISTORY OF THE 1898 JAILBREAK:
125 years ago, four inmates of the Eureka Springs Jailhouse planned a daring escape! Why, you might ask? For freedom, or to escape the noose? Nope. To attend a local dance!
Crazy, you might think, but we Eurekans love to have a good time. What's even crazier is that when the shindig was all over, the convicts dragged their tired feet back to their cells. The jailer wasn't so happy about their trickery and escape, but eventually allowed them to resume their residence behind bars.
---------------------------------
THE JAILBIRD BALL - WHAT IS IT?:
To pay tribute to this delicious piece of local history, the Eureka Springs Historical Museum will be hosting the all new Jailbird Ball fundraiser in the fall of 2024. This will be the first in a series of “Time Travel” themed interactive events created by the museum.
The Jailbird Ball will feature music and entertainment by DJ Testube and the Melonlight Dance Crew, mugshots, a silent auction of items from the "evidence room", an immersive jailbreak experience, social dancing, and some of the best "prison food" you've ever tasted!
---------------------------------
WHEN IS IT?
The event takes place on the evening of Friday, November 22, 2024 from 6pm to 10pm. Doors will open at 5pm for those who would like some additional time to socialize, look around, and get into character.
---------------------------------
WHERE IS IT?
The event is being hosted at the Inn of the Ozarks Convention Center, located behind the Best Western Inn of the Ozarks at 207 W. Van Buren in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, just off of Highway 62. Free parking is available on-site.
---------------------------------
