Mid-America Science Museum will honor two local community STEM leaders at this year's 19th annual Taste of the Holidays from 6-9 p.m. Nov. 15 at the museum.
Tickets are $75 in advance and $90 on the day of the event.
"This year's Taste of the Holidays is a major milestone for Mid-America Science Museum and there is much to celebrate this year with the opening of the Oaklawn Foundation DinoTrek earlier this summer, the passing of the Full STEAM Ahead bond issue, and the museum's 40-year anniversary coming up next year," said Diane LaFollette, the museum's executive director.
Taste of the Holidays will once again be the setting where Mid-America Science Museum recognizes individuals who have contributed significantly to the STEM community. This year's community STEM leadership award honorees are state Sen. Bill Sample, R-District 14, and state Rep. Les Warren, R-District 25, for their work in the community. Each will be honored during an exclusive VIP reception at the museum preceding Taste of the Holidays at 5 p.m.
Also to be awarded at the reception is the annual college scholarship to one worthy graduating senior from Hot Springs who plans to pursue a science-related college degree plan.
Taste of the Holidays will once again feature an illustrious silent auction, more than 20 food and drink establishments, plus a featured wine wall and fun science for adults.
