Charlotte – Bring your party shoes, your appetite, your dancing
groove, your spirit of fun and friendship. Leave behind your tux,
your cares and your worries.
Join us for Buck's Backyard Bash, The Duke Mansion Preservation
Society Gala, on Saturday, Sept. 12, 6 pm, at 400 Hermitage Road in
Charlotte. This night of great food and dancing will benefit The Duke
Mansion, a non-profit historic inn and meeting place. Come and
support this grand old mansion and all its history. All proceeds from
the event will be used to preserve and protect the mansion.
We'll have the music through the night with Hot Sauce, a well-known
cover band that fuses the genres of 70s, 80s, 90s, and current hits
into "one extra large bag of popcorn fun and party madness," they
say. Individually they have worked with many national artists,
including James Taylor, Yes, The Moody Blues, Arlo Guthrie, Al
Jarreau, Brian Wilson, and the Billy Joel Broadway show. Hear them at http://www.danielentertainment.com/artist_details.cfm?AID=1034

Built in 1915 and tripled by its most famous owner James Buchanan
"Buck" Duke, The Duke Mansion has been home and host to leaders of the
20th century. Duke's most lasting legacies, including Duke University,
Duke Energy and the Duke Endowment, took shape at the home. Listed on
the National Register of Historic Places, The Mansion is now operated
as a nonprofit with all proceeds being used to preserve and protect
this community treasure. The Duke Mansion has received the
prestigious AAA Four Diamond Award. For more information,
