entertaining museum series that is exclusively for adults. UnCorked will set the stage for adults to celebrate the power of play as they engage in creative activities, music, and museum exploration throughout the evening.

A Jelly Bean Wine Bar, Wine ice pops and a crafting station for making wine charms, cork art and bottle baubles will bring an element of curiosity and creativity to the evening. Entertainment provided by DJ Jay Magic. Beer, Wine, and light hors d'oeuvres will be served. Tickets are $20 per person for members and $25 per person for non-members and can be purchased by phone at 803-400-1162 or online at www.edventure.org.
