US Space and Rocket Center to host “Pour Your Heart Out”

HUNTSVILLE – If you are looking for someplace unique, romantic with true Huntsville flavor, the U.S. Space and Rocket Center is your Valentine destination.

The U.S. Space & Rocket Center invites you to the hottest Valentine ticket in town, their 6th annual “Pour Your Heart Out” celebration, Friday, Feb. 14, 7 to 11 p.m.

Celebrate with an evening of food, drink and live music in the Davidson Center for Space Exploration, then step outside where the folks from Sloss Furnaces of Birmingham will help you create your own Valentine keepsake.

Guests carve their own designs into a 4-inch-square or heart shaped sand and resin mold and the Sloss metal sculptors fill these molds with molten scrap iron from a 75-pound coke-fired furnace. Once cooled, the tiles are an upcycled work of art.

A cash bar will also be available, and dressy casual attire suggested.

The Lamont Landers Band, a crowd-pleasing musical delight, will set the mood with the joyful sounds of Soul, Funk and R&B.

The Paper Petals Co.will also be on hand for a little extra treat.

Paper florist, Thao Hoang combines her love of art and flowers by creating beautiful paper flowers made from crepe paper from places like Germany and Italy.

She will share her love of flower making and to offer a variety of flowers for sale for your sweetheart. These flowers won’t wilt or die and will last for many years.

Tickets are $50 per person. Members get in for $45. Additional tiles may be purchased for $12.50 each.

Pour Your Heart Out will go on rain or shine.
