HUNTSVILLE, Ala. - Tickets are still available for this Saturday’s “Pour Your Heart Out” Valentine’s event at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center. The Rocket Center is partnering with Sloss Furnaces of Birmingham for the fourth year for the event, which takes place Feb. 17, from 7 to 11 p.m. This memorable evening includes heavy hors d'oeuvres and dancing to live music by Juice under the Saturn V moon rocket in the Davidson Center for Space Exploration.

Guests can also carve their own Valentine design into a 4-inch-square sand and resin mold the Sloss metal sculptors will fill with molten scrap iron from an on-site 75-pound coke-fired furnace. Once cooled, the tiles are an upcycled work of art and a special Valentine keepsake.

Tickets to “Pour Your Heart out” are a perfect Valentine’s Day gift. The cost is $90 per couple or $45 per individual ticket and includes a mold for each guest to create a personal tile. Museum members receive a $5 discount on each ticket. A cash bar will also be available, and additional tiles may be purchased for $12.50 each. Dressy casual attire is suggested.
