Cedar Lake will hold its 20th anniversary signature fundraising event on Saturday, Nov. 1, at the Galt House Grand Ballroom, beginning with a silent auction at 6 p.m. First Light “Masquerade” will feature a dual-entree dinner at 8 p.m., a live auction to follow, as well as performing artists from Walden Theatre, Kentucky Shakespeare Festival and the Highland Chamber Players. Dancing will follow the program at 9:45 p.m. Presenting sponsor for the event is BB&T.
The “Masquerade” theme invites guests to get into the Renaissance spirit with elegant gowns for the women and tuxedos for the men, along with Venetian masks for all. Fire eaters, jugglers, a classical string quartet and costumed actors will add to the festive atmosphere.
Live auction items include three beach vacations, a Lake Barkley getaway, a hand-stitched quilt valued at $800, a quarter-page Business First ad, a hot-air balloon ride courtesy of Norton Healthcare, and dinner with Denny and Susan Crum.
In addition to lead sponsor BB&T, sponsors include Commonwealth Bank & Trust Co., Maclin & Associates, The Hubbard Clinic, National City Insurance Group (formerly Thompson Associates), Fastline and The Center for Special Needs Trust Administration.
