On Friday, Dec. 13, Kenyon College will host the 14th Annual Snowflake Gala in support of Knox County Food For The Hungry (FFTH).
The Gala will be held at the Lowry Center, 221 Duff St., Gambier, Ohio, in the multi-activity court, which will be transformed for the occasion.
The Gala will begin with a cocktail reception at 6 p.m., followed by dinner at 7 p.m. The Gala dinner, prepared by the skilled chefs of AVI Food Systems, will feature a buffet of gourmet favorites prepared with locally sourced ingredients. There will be dishes to meet all dietary restrictions.
Entertainment will be provided by Kenyon Professor of Music Ted Buehrer and the Knox Community Jazztet. The evening’s program will conclude with a Fund-a-Cause auction, providing guests with opportunities to support both the food-gathering and social-service activities offered by FFTH.
Joan E. Jones, volunteer and board member par excellence, will be recognized at the Gala with the William A. Stroud Award for Public Service. Hosts for the event are longtime FFTH supporters Kathy and Bruce White.
