FONTANEL’S CHRISTMAS IN DIXIE SELLS OUT

Lunch Events Still Available but Few Tickets Remain for Dinners

 

 

 

(Nashville, Tennessee…) – November 23, 2010 – The Fontanel’s Christmas in Dixie celebrations kicked off in the festively decorated Fontanel Mansion this past weekend, and Sunday night’s event was a complete sellout. Holiday revelers were greeted by young carolers as they entered the mansion, while smells of a traditional Christmas dinner wafted through the rooms. Intimate performances by Alabama’s Randy Owen, an Acoustic Christmas trio and the Gospel quartet Heart & Soul delighted the guests. Louise Mandrell, singer/songwriter and sister of the Fontanel’s original owner, Barbara Mandrell, paid a surprise visit to the party and even sang a couple of songs. After dinner, patrons wandered through the mansion’s 20+ rooms, while sipping egg nog and spiced cider.


 

The next series of the Fontanel’s Christmas in Dixie celebrations are currently on sale, and a very limited number of tickets for the dinner events are still available for Monday, December 6 and Wednesday, December 8, 2010. Tuesday, December 7 is sold out. An ample number of tickets are available for the lunchtime celebrations on Sunday, December 5 through Wednesday, the 8th.  Randy Owen is only performing at the dinner events.

Christmas lunches will run from 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. at a cost of $48.00 per person. The evening dinner parties will be $68.00 per person and run from 5:00 – 8:00 p.m. Included in the ticket price is a buffet of holiday food fit for a king, non-alcoholic drinks, live music and more in the only former home of a country music star open to the public. Guests are encouraged to bring still and video cameras to document this most memorable experience.
