Food options! Plan ahead. There are no on-site food sales at this year’s convention, so you’ll want to plan for this in advance. However, we are delighted the Galt House will offer a special lunch and dinner buffet of soups & salads for $20 per person. The buffet will run daily on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 11am – 2pm and 5 pm to 9 pm in Walker’s Exchange.
Don’t Forget your Fascinator!
This year's opening event includes a Derby Hat Contest. So, if you plan to participate make sure to have your fascinator packed and ready to go. The winner will get a certificate for a comped one-night room and tax for their stay at the Galt House!
Be A Bracelet Buddy!
Bracelet buddies wanted! Unaccompanied Minors Chorus had such a blast making bracelets for all of their Area 6 friends, they thought it would be fun if bracelet trading was a "thing" at IC&C in November as well. The kids invite all attendees to make bracelets to trade with the name of their quartet or chorus, or any other fun Harmony related slogan. There's something magical about the way members of our organization cheer for each other, and rocking bracelets with the name of your favorite groups is a great way to show support!
Too busy or not handy enough to make your own bracelets? UM will make them for your group for $1 a piece. Remember to order enough to trade with your pals, old and new! Email lindsay@tyfystudios.com to place an order. We can't wait to see everyone in Louisville!
Order your 2024 IC&C Pin or you can pick it up at our booth at Harmony Mall!
The 2024 IC&C pins have arrived, and they are beauties! Our wild and crazy pin crew will be selling these keepsakes in Louisville throughout the convention for $15 each. Cash, check and zelle payment options available! All proceeds benefit Sisters of Sound chorus. Questions? Contact us at annlkem@yahoo.com and we will see you in Louisville!
