'All Aboard' as Oak Ridge museum hosts 25th gala
The Children’s Museum of Oak Ridge will host its 25th Annual Gala from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 20, in the museum's gym. "All Aboard the Silver Line: A 25th Anniversary Gala," is the theme, according to a museum news release. The event is expected to bring together supporters for an evening of entertainment, dining, and auctions benefiting the museum’s educational mission. This year’s train theme honors the museum’s long partnership with the Knoxville Area Model Railroaders , who first collaborated with the museum after receiving the donation of a large model train layout from Oak Ridge resident Milton Lloyd. The museum provided a permanent home for the layout, and the relationship grew into a signature exhibit and years of volunteer support. The museum’s first gala adopted a train theme to celebrate this new partnership, and proceeds supported the development of the new model railroad space. Returning to a train theme for the 25th Annual Gala recognizes the enduring connection between the museum and the railroaders and celebrates the World of Trains exhibit that continues to be a favorite among visitors. This year’s Gala will feature emcee Will Puckett, WVLT-TV anchor, and a presentation by Don Hunnicutt of the
