Allison Transmission at Indiana State Museum

Allison Transmission recently hosted an event at the Indiana State Museum in the Frank and Judy O’Bannon Great Hall, giving us a great example of the space being used for fewer than 100 guests with food stations. Six food stations were set up, including a grilling area on the patio that paired with the German Biergarten station just inside the doors from Ball Family Terrace. In addition to space for food station ad guest dining tables, space was allocated for a stage and dance floor area where live music from ‘The Band etc.’ was played throughout the evening.
