Cocktails at the Crib

Description

Join the DeKalb County History Center for the fourth annual Cocktails at the Crib fundraiser on Saturday, July 19, from 4 to 7 p.m.

Set against the scenic backdrop of a farmstead and pond, this summer event offers an evening of great music, food, drinks, and local history. Guests will enjoy appetizers, desserts, and live music by Craig Mathey & Friends, along with a silent auction and games. The first drink is included with admission, with a cash bar featuring beer, wine, soft drinks, and the event’s signature cocktail—Whiskey Acres’ “Bourbon & Blues.”

Attendees will also get a first look at the new exhibit Food: Gathering Around the Table and a special peek at the Center’s future campus plans, including access to the historic corn crib.

Tickets are $50 and include a souvenir cocktail glass (while supplies last). On-site parking is available. Advance ticket purchase is encouraged at DeKalbCountyHistory.org or by calling 815-895-5762. Follow the History Center on Facebook and Instagram for updates.
