Tickets $200 per person

Creasey Mahan Nature Preserve’s popular 9th annual Butterfly Ball, presented by FBT Gibbons, will be held on May 21! After having a spectacular event last year, we are ready to host another exceptional evening! 

The evening begins in the picturesque Mac & Marla Barr Woodland Garden with open bars featuring specialty bourbons and signature drinks, live music with the Ron Jones Quartet, 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.   

Join us for this unforgettable evening! To become a sponsor, email Tavia@KYNaturePreserve.org or call (502) 228-4362.
