If sampling some of the world’s finest bourbons, eating good food and listening to some great bluegrass music sounds like a fun Saturday night for you, then the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Foundation has just what you’re looking for on June 12 at the Salato Wildlife Education Center in Frankfort.

There is the opportunity to buy raffle tickets for a chance at a coveted Kentucky bull elk hunt this year.

“This has been one of our most popular fundraising events,”

said Laurie Davison, director of the Salato Center.

Sample bourbon from eight major Kentucky distilleries, and taste excellent food from area restaurants and caterers, including the Bardstown Dinner Train, Cumberland Brew, Honey Baked Ham, the Frankfort Country Club, Two Peas in a Pod Catering and many more.

Foundation board members will supply slow-smoked pork shoulder; the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources is pitching 200 pounds of fried catfish.

In addition to exceptional food and drink, the award-winning band County Line Bluegrass play.  Outdoor exhibits will be open and the Salato staff and volunteers will offer free tours and programs.

A silent auction will help raise additional funds for the center.
