Thanks to PrideRock supporter and volunteer Christine Martin, this party promises to be a blast. The Apartment is Dallas’ swankiest spot for cool cats, and is an absolutely divine place to meet and mingle. You’ll enjoy live music, including smoky jazz from Melani Skybell, dancing on the terrace, delicious nibbles and bites from a variety of Dallas’ best caterers, faaaabulous cocktails from Hendricks Gin (wine and beer, too), and you’ll meet lots of interesting fellow PrideRock lovers.

Plus, you can snap up delightful Silent Auction items such as an original watercolor from myself (Jake, a watercolor animal portrait), a designer denim jacket with custom silk tiger print lining, spa packages, restaurant deals, beautiful gift baskets, beauty days, and much, much more!

About the Square House Museum:
The historic Square House, built of lumber hauled from Dodge City in the 1880's, is just one of 21 buildings, galleries, outdoor diorama, and large outdoor artifacts that make up the Square House Museum complex. Case exhibits and full-sized diorama tell the story of the Texas Panhandle and its people, from mammoth hunters 12,000 years ago, through the Indian Wars, cattle ranches, and the coming of the railroad in the 19th century, to the oil boom of the 1920's and the region's part in the space program of today. A wildlife gallery and two art galleries add other dimensions to the history. Accredited three times by the American Association of Museums, the Square House Museum is considered one of the best small museums in the United States. Admission is free; donations welcome.
