Join us for the “Harvey’s Garden Party Brunch” on Sunday, March 3, in the Merkle Gallery. This popular annual event hosted by Murphy-Pitard Jewlers and All About Flowers is served come-and-go style, with the buffet beginning at 11:00am and continuing through 1:00pm. SAAC’s longtime volunteer Tena Hughes has created a tempting and delicious menu for this brunch held in conjunction with the spring production of “Harvey,” which opens March 1.

Tickets for both the brunch and production are available at SAAC’s online box office or by called SAAC at 870-862-5474.

The crowd-pleasing menu for “Harvey’s Garden Party Brunch” includes a Mimosa Bar, Grits and Shrimp Gravy, Mini Quiches, Ham and Cheese Sliders, a Fruit, Yogurt, and Granola Bar, Spudnuts, and Coffee. The entire event is made possible by dedicated volunteers from SAAC’s board of directors and theatre committee, who give of their time and talents each year to cook, decorate, and serve.

Sponsor All About Flowers will be on hand hosting a spring bulb sale, where they will be selling bags filled with imported Dutch flower bulbs for $20. The bags will contain 3 bulbs each, either irises, gladiolus, or dahlias. Inside the Price Gallery, sponsor Murphy Pitard-Jewelers will curate a stunning jewelry collection, displaying spring-inspired pieces at a variety of price points.

The Harvey Raffle item donated by Murphy-Pitard Jewelers will also be on display. The “Spring Celestial Garden Party Gold Ring” includes a fourteen-karat yellow gold and multi-color gemstone ring valued at $2,700. The ring features a total of five round and oval faceted gemstones (green amethyst, lilac amethyst, intense orange sapphire, pink tourmaline, blue zircon) each secured by four standard prongs and outlined by a high polish detached oval shaped frame. Guests to the brunch have the exclusive opportunity to try on the ring and purchase tickets to the raffle, which will conclude with the winner drawn live onstage at the final performance of “Harvey” on March 9. Raffle tickets are $10 each or 15 tickets for $100.

Fine art flower pots designed by local artists will be available for bidding during our silent auction, which will be on display during the brunch as well as during the entire run of the play. Additionally, each pot will be available for a “buy now” price of $100.

All funds raised during the brunch will support SAAC’s educational opportunities.
