Creasey Mahan Nature Preserve’s eighth annual Butterfly Ball, presented by Frost Brown Todd, will be held on Friday, May 29^th. The evening begins at 6:00 p.m. in the gorgeous Woodland Garden setting with open bars featuring specialty bourbons and signature drinks, live music, an exquisite farm-to-fork dinner by Volare, fantastic auction items, and a personalized butterfly experience. WAVE 3’s multiple Emmy-award winner, Shannon Cogan, will be our Host Extraordinaire, accompanied by entertainer-auctioneers Kevin Harned and Bill Menish. Join us for this unforgettable evening!

This special gala brings together friends and neighbors with the inspiring purpose of renovating the 1828 barn into a Visitor Center, grow Thrive Forest School scholarship funds for families in need, and ensure free access to nature for all.
