Roughly 100 guests came out recently for an evening of Bourbon and BBQ at Talley Hall Event Center. Rose McRae is a proud partner in Clarksville’s newest event center which is named after her grandmother and her partner’s late mother. “We’re here tonight because the people of Clarksville needed a reason to get out, especially after the events of 2020 and we thought Bourbon and BBQ would be a great motivator,” McRae said. “Tonight is also a fundraiser for Lords, Inc. They’re raising money to send kids to college. Anytime we do a big community event here, we hope to tie it in with some type of fundraiser so people will know they’re supporting a good cause.” Guests enjoyed drinks from Leatherwood Distillery and beer from Tennessee Valley Brewing Co. James Haskins conducted the bourbon tasting and the food came from Excell Market and Mary’s Southern Cooking.
