Hoover Helps’ Old-Fashioned Christmas VIP Party

Jingle and mingle at the Hoover Helps Old-Fashioned Christmas VIP Party. Dress in your best cocktail attire Saturday, Dec. 2, 2023, from 7 to 10 p.m. at the Hoover-Randle Home & Gardens (2255 Tyler Road).

Tickets are $55 and grant access to a night filled with food by Tre Luna Catering, entertainment and cocktails from Sweet Home Spirits and Tito’s Handmade Vodka. The Old-Fashioned will be the signature cocktail of the evening.

There will be chances to win prizes, including a bottle of Van Winkle 12 Year Lot B valued at $1,000. There also will be a silent auction with items such as a signed barrel by the Jack Daniel’s distiller and a tour of the Jack Daniel’s Distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee.

You can also buy $25 tickets for a Wine Pull or Bling Tree. The Wine Pull gives you a covered bottle of wine that has a surprise label. You might have a gourmet bottle on your hands depending which one you pick. The Bling Tree tickets grant you the chance to win a high-end jewelry item from Tiffany & Co. or Levy’s Fine Jewelry. There will also be a Barbie Angel Tree this year, giving attendees a chance to  choose an item to sponsor a child in need.

The Old-Fashioned Christmas VIP party kicks off the Ho Ho Hoover-Randle Weekend. The second event is the Ho Ho Hoover-Randle Open House on Sunday, Dec. 3, from 2 to 5 p.m. (tickets sold separately).
