LPCTV’s Annual Kentucky Derby Gala Is Right Around the Corner
Saturday, May 2 at Willie Dunn’s Grille in Ludlow
March 19, 2015 (Ludlow, Vermont) -- LPCTV will hold its fourth “Kentucky Derby Gala – A Night at the Races” fundraising event on Saturday, May 2nd at Willie Dunn’s Grille at the Okemo Valley Golf Course in Ludlow from 5:00pm to 8:30pm. The event has become an annual fundraiser for LPCTV, a non profit community television station and media center serving the Okemo Mountain region. “We are thrilled to hear that Willie Dunne’s and Okemo want to host the party this year”, said Sharon Combes-Farr, LPCTV Board member and event organizer. “The Derby has come to be not only a lot of fun, but it has grown into a dependable fundraiser for our organization.”
The Derby gala will feature great food and live entertainment which will all be included in the per person ticket price of $25. Entertainment will include several locally sponsored “horse races” with charity betting, a live viewing of the Kentucky Derby on television, and other lively entertainment. The event is made possible by Willie Dunn’s Grille, which will graciously host and provide a large selection of culinary delights for the event, as well as 7 “Circle of Roses” race sponsors. This year’s sponsors include Stemwinder and the Wine & Cheese Depot, George B. Tucker, Inc., The Book Nook, Okemo Mountain Resort, Ludlow Farmer's Market, Vermont Properties, and Jim & Anita Alic.
There are still several race horses available for sponsorship at $50 each. Sponsors get to name their horse and have it printed in the event program. From now until April 15th, LPCTV is offering a 15% discount package of one horse sponsorship and two tickets to the event for only $85. One winner from each race will receive a prize donated by local merchants. There will also be a grand prize drawing of 100 gallons of fuel donated by Cota & Cota, among other valuable prizes.
Those interested should Patrick Cody by calling 228-8808 or email pcody@lpctv.org to make prize donations, to sponsor horses, and to purchase advance tickets for the Kentucky Derby Gala. Tickets will also be available for purchase at LPCTV, The Book Nook, and the Wine & Cheese Depot.
