The museum is grateful that Dade City's Chief of Police Ann Starling will be our Emcee for the night. Join us for the Cracker Cowboy Dinner

 

We are thrilled to announce that the amazing Hayfire Band will be playing live music for your listening and dancing pleasure. HAYFIRE is a Florida-based country band with a rich history of performing alongside some of the biggest names in the industry. The trio of singers are renowned for their outstanding vocals and upbeat energy that never fails to ignite any crowd. Their modern take on southern-tinged harmonies is instantly recognizable and enjoyable, creating an unforgettable atmosphere wherever they perform. With almost a century of combined experience in the entertainment industry, HAYFIRE is the hottest country band in Florida, winning Orlando Weekly’s ‘Best Of’ series, 6 years running, in the category of “Best Cover Band” as voted by the fans. You don't have to go to Epcot or other central Florida locations to see them. You can get a VIP performance right here in Dade City.

​Pharaoh's Wildlife Kingdom will bring alligators for you to take photos with and more special surprises.

At the Cracker Cowboy Dinner, we have an exciting lineup of live entertainment, but that's not the only reason to attend. We are also raising funds through the sale of dinner tickets, VIP packages, auction items, raffle tickets, and a thrilling 50/50 drawing. However, we firmly believe that our efforts will be even more successful with the support of corporate and  individual sponsors.
