The Jasper Project presents the second in our Valentine’s Day series of the hottest place to be on Valentine’s Night in Columbia—INFAMOUS LOVERS - A night of fun, food, music, entertainment, and a big stakes costume contest for the folks who excel in the Art of Costume.
Join the Jasper Project on Wednesday February 14th from 7 – 10 at the 701 Whaley Market Space for INFAMOUS LOVERS. Headlining the evening is BIG LOVE, a Fleetwood Mac cover band comprised of Columbia locals, Bekah Rice, Adam Corbett, Marshall Brown, Shane Sanders, and Sharon Gnanashekar. The mesmerizing Tiny Coven Dance will be performing unique fusion style dance throughout the evening. Theatre artist extraordinaire, Kari Lebby, will be serving as our illustrious emcee, and Chef Joe Turkaly will provide his legendary spread of heavy hors d’oeuvres to sate your appetites, if not your desires.
Please note — Costumes are recommended but NOT required. Nor are couples, whether in costume or not! Jasper is eager to welcome couples and individuals of all persuasions!
YOU CAN GO YOUR OWN WAY!

Plus, a photographer will be on hand to capture your image on this special night.
Champagne bottles hand-painted by some of the area’s most exciting artists will be available at a silent auction. Take your bottle home and enjoy it’s contents then cherish a uniquely beautiful piece of art as your souvenir of the evening.
Advanced tickets to the event are $30 for general admission (SRO), $50 for VIP which includes a reserved seat, early access to the event, a champagne toast, and photos with the performers, and $500 for a reserved table for 8, which includes the same perks as VIP plus 2 bottles of champagne and delicious candy surprises.

Don’t be disappointed! Last year’s Valentine’s Day event, A Date with Bernie Love, sold out in advance and many people were turned away at the door due to Fire Marshall capacity rules. They were sad. We were sad. It’s just not necessary. Jasper recommends you reserve your ticket TODAY and look forward to a HAPPY Valentine’s Day for all!
