LAURINBURG — Get ready for a night of jazz this May.

The Arts Council of Scotland County is hosting an evening of jazz on May 14 at the Highlands. The event serves as a fundraiser to support the Storytelling Center of the Southeast. There will be two jazz bands, a catered dinner, dancing, a cash bar and a bourbon, scotch and tequila raffle.

The event begins at 6 p.m. and dinner will be served at 7 p.m.

Jazz Revolution, a band from Charlotte, will perform. This is the same band that the arts council hosted last summer in a free concert at Hammond Park. The group was so well received that the arts council wanted to bring them back. The UNC-Pembroke jazz combo will also perform that evening.

Tickets for the event are $55 and are available online at storyartscenter.org. To purchase tickets in person, visit the Scotland Arts Center, located at 131 Roper St. from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Mon-Thur. Tickets are also available at Terry’s Boutique.

The Jazz planning committee, which included Terry Gallman, Shirley McNair, Anne Todd and Dora Sharber, planned the fundraising event.
