"Scheduled to host the Whisky Experience on April 20, this market shed will be the site of an attempt to set the Guinness World Record for the world’s largest whiskey highball. Organizers plan to dispense a gargantuan cocktail—made with Jim Beam Black and Faygo pop—from a 93-gallon Tom Collins-style container fitted with spigots, and the first 1,000 attendees will be able to sample the concoction. Record-attempt paperwork has been filed with Guinness, though no judge will be present. The benefit event will also feature appetizers and numerous bourbon and whiskey tastings, with proceeds supporting the Luella M. Harden Foundation’s charitable causes, the Leukemia Society of America, and local student scholarships." - Brenna Houck
