Animoré - A Weekend Benefit for the Love of Animals
Event Description
animoré is the first annual weekend festival in celebration of and for the love of animals. The festival will take place Friday, October 18 and Saturday, October 19, 2019 on the grounds of Alaqua Animal Refuge’s future home in Freeport, Florida. The weekend showcases two events — the 6th Annual 100 Point and Cult Wine Dinner and the Inaugural Barn Jam. The animoré weekend benefit was born out of an idea from Alaqua Animal Refuge Founder Laurie Hood to create a community event combining music with excellent food and wine in support of animal welfare. For hundreds of years, music has enhanced our souls and holds a special spiritual power for engaging our senses. Interactions with animals also have powerful effects on the human spirit and body. TWO EVENTS — ONE EPIC WEEKEND FRIDAY, OCTOBER 18 — 6TH ANNUAL 100 POINT AND CULT WINE DINNER The animoré weekend kicks off with Alaqua’s 6th Annual 100 Point and Cult Wine Dinner. This exclusive evening is a one-of-a-kind experience for a limited collection of patrons, as guests will be the first to dine in a most unique, surprise setting at Alaqua’s future home. The elegant affair begins with a cocktail reception and an intimate musical performance, followed by an exquisite 5-course dinner prepared by Chef Brendan Davey, perfectly paired with distinctive and stellar wines, especially selected and procured for this occasion. An evening of luxe savoring and sipping, this fête is not to be missed! As an added bonus this year, guests will be treated to the VIP Patron Lounge and prime seating at the Inaugural Barn Jam the next day (including complimentary food and drinks). Individual Seat, $1,200 per seat SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19 — INAUGURAL BARN JAM The animoré Inaugural Barn Jam takes place on Saturday beginning in the afternoon, and will feature an outdoor music festival with performances by Nashville songwriters Billy Dawson, Aaron Barker, and Jon Nite. Together, these award-winning songwriters and performers have written hits for George Strait, Tim McGraw, Keith Urban, Miranda Lambert, Kenny Chesney, Lee Brice, Luke Bryan, and many more. Headlining is roots-rocking, multi-instrumentalist Eric Lindell who has collaborated and shared stages with John Fogarty and Jackson Browne, and is a founding member of Dragon Smoke with Ivan Neville. Kicking off the festivities are local favorites, The Pickled Pickers and Luke Langford Band. The Barn Jam will include a wide variety of food trucks, beverages, a silent auction.
