One organization in Henderson KY that has been very near and dear to me over the years is Ohio Valley Art League.
This Saturday (April 24, 2009) OVAL is having the largest fund raiser that they have all year.
The OVAL Kitchen Tour is a event where local homes open up there kitchens for a tour. This event has been going on for several years and each year gains more acclaim.
Each homeowner allows ticket holders to see the design of the kitchen and equipment used in the kitchen.
Each home has a celebrity chef making some delectable food item that the participants can taste. The tickets to the event are a recipe book with all the recipes of the items that are being prepared in all of the homes. A keepsake for sure!
Several of the homes are within walking distance of my house.
Besides a cooking demonstration going on in the kitchens other things will be going on as well. The Hazelwood home will feature a herb and flower sale. The Lane/Shelton home will have a live potter and pottery for sale. A silent auction will be going on at the Wilson home. April Robinson will be selling her latest art photography book at the Link home and there will be a display of Southern Living Tablescapes at the Stinson house. The Fidler home will have representatives from the Henderson County Extension office
The website for the event is http://www.ohiovalleyart.org/ktour
A personal note:
I along with my company Vaughn Insurance will be offering a item at the silent auction. It is a Sunset Dinner Party & Fireworks on Saturday, July 4, 2009. This dinner party of Filets and Firecracker Shrimp and sides will be served on the veranda of my home at 330 North Water St overlooking Sunset Park and the Mighty Ohio River the night of Henderson’s annual Fireworks display.
Can you imagine having a front row seat for the fireworks and enjoy a nice dinner too? All for a good cause- Ohio Valley Art League.
Alternative dates for this dinner party auction item are available and subject to hosts availability. The dinner party must be redeemed by 8/15/2009.
The party is for six guests. Two additional guest may be invited with a extra donation to OVAL based on the winning bid amount. An example of this would be if winning bid is $600 then to add two additional guest you would need to make an additional $200 contribution to OVAL. Sounds great doesn’t it?
