Knock on wood and hold your breath, Piedmont Arts’ annual fundraiser, Savory September, is returning!

On Friday, Sept. 13 at 6:30 p.m., join Piedmont Arts and their team of local chefs for, “Fortune + Flavor: Friday the 13!” This superstitious fundraiser features themed small-bites, craft cocktails, games and raffles, live music, and fun tarot readings. Show us if you're feeling lucky or unlucky by wearing all black or all white. Tickets are $50 and all-inclusive. 

Fortunes:

• In addition to the food and entertainment, this event will feature a 50/37/13 raffle. Tickets are $20 per ticket or you can buy a book of 6 for $100. On the evening of the event, two winners will be selected. One will win 37% of the money earned, the other 13%. The remaining 50% will go to Piedmont Arts to support their amazing arts education and programming in Martinsville and Henry County. Tickets are available at Piedmont Arts and on PiedmontArts.org.

• Lauren Ellis and Christine Stewart will be providing fun tarot readings. For $5, you can get a one-card draw that will give you an overview of a question, or for $20 you can get a 3-card past/present/future spread. Tickets for tarot readings will be available for purchase at the door and all proceeds go to Piedmont Arts.

• Live music will be provided by Jake Earles, a feature at Piedmont Arts events. A singer and songwriter from Axton, he spent 20 years living in Nashville, Tn. — playing everywhere from honky tonks to the Grand Ole Opry — and has toured the country with acts like Tim McGraw. Earles brings a mix of country, Americana, folk and soul to the stage.
