Birthday Bash: Celebrating 30 Years of KFTC in Jefferson County

The Jefferson County Chapter joined KFTC in 1983. Thirty years later the chapter hosts 2,000 members from all over Louisville, Oldham County and across the bridge in Southern Indiana. While actively supporting all of KFTC’s statewide campaigns, our members have worked on local campaigns around coal ash, economic justice, affordable housing, police abuse, sweat shops, hazardous waste reduction and recycling.

We want to celebrate our chapter's 30 year history with a Birthday Bash on Saturday, June 22nd at the Tim Faulkner Gallery in Butchertown. The event will be co-emceed by John Gage and Laura Shine and will feature live music by Jonny Sands & Paul Braun, Joel Henderson, The Blacktop Farmers, Ted Stevens & The Third Rail, Hunter & Dian (The Bad Reeds Acoustic), Kathleen Hoye, Leigh Ann Yost, Tristen Brook, Nellie Pearl, Joan Shelley, Beady, The Nick Dittmeier Band, and John Gage & Friends.

The Birthday Bash will also feature testimonials from KFTC members and allies, family-friendly activities, KFTC and ally issue stations, and a raffle. The event takes place from 12 p.m. to 11 p.m., rain or shine. There is a suggested donation of $10 for adults and $5 for student. The event is free for children 17 and younger. Food will be available for purchase from Louisville Food Truck Association vendors Moe-Licious BBQ and Reds Comfort Foods. NABC beer and other drinks will also be available for purchase.
