Join us Jan. 17 as we celebrate the 98th birthday of the incomparable Betty White with our 3rd Annual Golden Girls Cheesecake and Coloring event. The Golden Girls is an American comedy drama television series created by Susan Harris that originally aired on NBC from Sept.14, 1985 to May 9, 1992 with a total of 180 half-hour episodes spanning seven seasons. The show stars Beatrice Arthur, Betty White, Rue McClanahan and Estelle Getty as four older women who share friendship and a home in Miami, Florida. The Golden Girls received critical acclaim throughout most of its run and won several awards including the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series twice. Each of the four stars received an Emmy Award, making it one of only three sitcoms in the award’s history to achieve this. The series also ranked among the top-10 highest-rated programs for six of its seven seasons.
So, come in cosplay as your favorite character and play trivia to win prizes as we celebrate our love for lightening quick wit, St. Olaf stories, cheesecake and four hilarious ladies that shaped our minds with their hilarious antics. Come enjoy complimentary snacks and refreshments, Golden Girls coloring, and quote all your favorite lines. The festivities will start at 7 p.m. Jan. 17 at the Carnegie Museum of Montgomery County.
