Scottish Walk Marchers GTMS had its largest marching team ever for the 2011 Scottish Walk on December 3rd.  Our 20+ two-legged walkers were accompanied by several four-legged marchers, including Posey, this year's Tavern Dog, a Tavern Dog alumnus, and a couple of puppies enjoyed the day, too. See a Slideshow of great parade pictures from GTMS Member Joey Wang or some snaps from among the marchers.

Theater Night a Great Success

posted Aug 7, 2011 4:11 PM by Gadsby's Tavern Museum Society

Once again GTMS had a great deal of fun raising funds for the Museum while having fun.  A nearly full house of enthusiastic members and friends helped us support the Museum while having a great time at Hairspray!  The Little Theater of Alexandria put on this lively show, which was especially enjoyed by all those in the crowd that still remember the Sixties.  Look for our next summer's GTMS Theater Night -- Sweeney Todd!

Tavern Dog Contest -- Saturday, May 7th

posted Apr 21, 2011 8:11 PM by Gadsby's Tavern Museum Society

Given the weather last Saturday, it is not surprising that these
were about the only Trot-up contestants we had that day before we decided it would be best to postpone the event.  We have been able to reschedule the contest for Saturday, May 7th starting at 1:00 in Market Square. 
See the Tavern Dog page for the current list of fabulous prizes and generous sponsors as well as the updated registration flyer for more information.
The $35 registration fee will also provide a swag bag of goodies, including family membership in GTMS. 
Registration deadline is May 3rd but Trot-ins will be welcome from 1:00-2:00.
