YOUR Community Media and YOUR Williamson invite guests to an elevated evening of sophistication, craftsmanship, and connection at the second annual Bow Ties & Bourbon, hosted at Carlock Motorcars on July 14 from 5 p.m. – 7 p.m.
Designed for those with a taste for the finer things in life, Bow Ties & Bourbon is a thoughtfully curated experience celebrating luxury, style, and community.

The event will feature premium bourbon tastings and handcrafted cocktails, live music, hand-rolled cigars, fine men’s apparel, bespoke accessories, and exceptional cuisine from Sperry’s Restaurant. There will also be incredible giveaways, including a two-night stay at Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort’s Hotel Effie, a VIP Package for SkyDog: The Muscle Shoals Experience, and more!
The Community Partner for the second annual Bow Ties & Bourbon is American Legion Post 215, a historic, predominantly African American veterans organization in Williamson County, started by three World War II veterans in 1946. They are dedicated to honoring the legacy of local Black servicemembers, supporting today’s veterans, and preserving their stories. Through its restoration campaign, the Post is transforming its historic hall into a community gathering place and museum that will celebrate more than 160 years of African American military service in Williamson County, ensuring these veterans’ contributions are recognized for generations to come. Through this event, we hope to shine a light on the American Legion Post 215 and encourage community donations.

“While Two Rivers Mansion was closed for two years going through its most significant restoration in its almost 170-year history,” says Friends of Two Rivers President Jeff Syracuse. “The Friends of Two Rivers were hard at work to prepare for our grand re-opening, and we created our most exciting and extensive event and tour calendar to date. We look forward to welcoming you back to Two Rivers this year to experience all the events, tours, and educational programs we offer.”
This year’s featured exhibit, “Timeless Passages” by Robert MacDonald, offers a fresh and visually striking look at Two Rivers Mansion through changing seasons, light, and atmosphere. Guests will see the property in ways that feel both familiar and entirely new. In addition to the featured collection, a wide variety of MacDonald’s work will be on display — from bold abstracts to more traditional styles — with pieces available for purchase.
