This year's Speakeasy-themed event will feature a select number of automobiles displayed both inside the ballroom and throughout the surrounding grounds, giving guests an up-close look at some of the weekend's most remarkable vehicles.
You will also be tempted by an array of auction items, including the original artwork! Tickets are $100 per person for Dayton History members and Car Participants. All others are $125 per person and can be purchased at Carillon Historical Park or by calling 937-293-2841.
We hope to see you for this casual evening of good food, entertaining company, and beautiful cars and bikes. Reservations required. For reservations, contact Development at 937-293-2841.
