Bourbon & Blooms Event was an incredible success

 July 24, 2016

Cleveland, Ohio – RightNOW Women PAC is proud to announce that our “Bourbon & Blooms” event at the Republican convention in Cleveland was an astounding success.

Members, supporters, and special guests arrived on Tuesday evening at a real-life donut shop to be escorted through the faux industrial kitchen door to find themselves inside of Cleveland’s newest club, Magnolia. Guests mingled around a larger-than-life metal magnolia tree with the dee-jay and two bars, while some enjoyed the outdoor patio on a beautiful summer night.

Wearing RightNOW Women PAC pins, guests were eager to talk about the importance of supporting women candidates.

Cleveland’s entertainment scene is abuzz with activity as the 2016 Republican Convention fast approaches. One of the hottest new venues coming to the Flats East Bank section – a speakeasy called Magnolia – is surprisingly hidden, which is part of what makes it such fun. 

To get to Magnolia, you walk through a small store-front that sells – of all things – made-to-order donuts. Once past the shop, the space opens up to a 4,000-square-foot club with 20-foot ceilings, a steel magnolia tree and walls  decorated with colorful graffiti art.
