HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – The U.S. Space & Rocket Center is offering a unique way to celebrate Valentine’s Day, the annual “Pour Your Heart Out” event on Saturday, Feb. 11. This evening of good food, drink and live music includes an iron pour where guests can create their own Valentine keepsake with the help of the metal artists of Sloss Furnaces of Birmingham.
Dining and dancing takes place in the Davidson Center for Space Exploration’s Saturn V Hall, and the iron pour is outside under the giant Saturn V moon rocket. Guests carve their own designs into a 4-inch-square sand and resin mold the Sloss metal sculptors then fill with molten scrap iron from a 75-pound coke-fired furnace. Once cooled, the tiles become an upcycled keepsake.
The event takes place from 7 to 11 p.m. Tickets are $90 per couple or $45 per individual ticket and include heavy hors d'oeuvres, live music by Juice and a mold for each guest to create a personal tile. A cash bar will also be available, and additional tiles may be purchased for $12.50 each. Dressy casual attire is suggested.
“Pour Your Heart Out” has sold out the past two years, so get your tickets now.
Museum members receive a $5 discount on each ticket by calling 256-721-7155.
