SUCCESS!
The Museum Gala was a HUGE success! We took this one to the races with our Juleps, Jockeys, and Jazz theme while we honored the 100th anniversary of Flying Ebony, a horse foaled in Christian County, winning the Kentucky Derby. With great support from the community, we raised $26,000 that will help support the work that we do.
Special thanks to Planters Bank, our Title Sponsor, for their continued support of the museum, of local history, and of the community.
Big thanks to our Table and Artifact Sponsors, too!
