A Night at the Blind Pig Speakeasy An Evening to Enrich Evanston’s History
Advertisement
January of 1919, the Prohibition Amendment to the Constitution went into effect.
Evanston was already the epicenter for the temperance and prohibition movements, modeling and influencing national trends and opinions. In this centenary year, the Evanston History Center turns its summer gala into an opportunity for the community not only to view the “Dry Evanston: The Untold Story” exhibit, but to experience a little of the Prohibition Era vibe as our history comes alive!
Next year’s Summer Gala will be held Saturday, August 29th, 2020.
Rooftop Party Boosterpalooza Benefiting ETHS Sports, Arts, & Clubs
780 people enjoyed a beautiful evening that highlighted the community, food, and music of Evanston. Over $80,000 was raised, which allows the ETHS Boosters to support 100 teams in 30+ sports, 80+ clubs, and eight ETHS theater department productions. Your attendance the other night helped to make those events possible and gives ETHS students opportunities they might not otherwise.
