More for more.
While you’re there, check out the music, old-school photographs, and memorabilia. “Chefs’ Picnic at the Lake will transport guests to a time when White Rock Lake was the staple of summertime in Dallas,” organizers say. That is, if they had Deep Eddy Sweet Tea vodka cocktails (like the Minty Deep Daily, The Skinny Dip and The Deep Eddy Splash) 100 years ago.
Proceeds will help fund 10 capital projects such as enhancing hike and bike trails, improving parking lots, renovating White Rock Dog Park, restoring the park forests, and more.
Tickets are $55 per person in advance and include complimentary valet parking at The Bath House Cultural Center, located at 521 East Lawther Drive in Dallas. For more information and to purchase tickets go to www.highlandparkcafeteria.com or call 214-632-0784.
