4th Annual Holiday Bash
Every year during the holiday season, many South Central Kentucky's charities join together for a series of holiday events raising money to support their good works across the region. The Holiday Bash fundraiser is the premier event for these amazing charities. The Holiday Bash this year will be held at the National Corvette Museum on Thursday night at 5pm.
The Holiday Bash begins with a silent auction, appetizers in the boulevard and entertainment. Guests enjoy a meal by The Brickyard, surprise VIP guests, live auction items and entertainment. This event was originally scheduled for Friday, December 6, but was postponed to this Thursday, December 19, due to inclement weather. For ticket information and more details about the bash, check out the website below or call 270-781-7973.
