Celebrate Kentucky Educational Television’s (KET’s) educational programs and services at the 24^th annual February Fanfare gala presented by the Louisville Regional Board of the Commonwealth Fund for KET.

The event is scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 18, from 7-11 pm at The Olmsted in Louisville and will be hosted by honorary chairs Alice and Wade Houston, subjects of the upcoming KET original production The Alice & Wade Houston Story, premiering Feb. 28.

This year’s theme, Moonlight Masquerade, celebrates all things Mardi Gras – from Bourbon Street to Kentucky’s bourbon capitol! Guests will revel in bedazzled masks, fall in line with a brass band, and celebrate the melting pot of cultures and traditions of the season. Event proceeds support KET’s programs and services.

The evening includes a plated dinner, open bar, dancing to live music from The Crashers and a silent auction for items such as vacation packages, jewelry, furnishings, art as well as many other great gifts and services!

Tickets are $150 per person or $1,800 per table for eight. Tickets can be reserved online at KET.org/Fanfare. For more information, contact Jennifer Adams at (800) 866-0366 or jadams@KET.org.
