Turning the Tables

What is Turning the Tables?
A unique, fun-filled event where local celebrities serve as "wait staff" to our guests.

hard bargain mt. hopeHosted by Southern Exposure Magazine, Turning the Tables will benefit Hard Bargain Mt. Hope Redevelopment – a project aimed at providing affordable homes for low-income residents of the Hard Bargain neighborhood, a historic African-American community in downtown Franklin. This will be a 21-and-over event.

The evening event will sprawl over both Sandy’s Downtown Grille and Merridee’s Breadbasket and beyond where celebrities will tend bar, serve food and entertain. Rather than a seated, multi-course dinner, guests will mix and mingle through various food stations and high-top bistro tables. Delicious food, a variety of beverages, great music and good cheer will characterize the evening, which is expected to be a sold-out event.

Who is being asked to participate?
Local celebrities in television, sports, music, government and more. Celebrities including Scott Hamilton, Michael W. Smith, Kirk Whalum, Frank Wycheck, Erron Kinney, Darcy Hordichuk and more were in attendance last year.
