Summer Celebration 2025: No Place Like Home
Thank you for supporting KET’s 37th annual Summer Celebration No Place Like Home, a technicolor adventure on June 7 commemorating our sense of place across Kentucky and 250Lex “Come Home” month.
Behind the curtain was an Emerald City Auction; wicked dancing to The Crashers; spellbinding costumes of lions, wizards and Dorothy Gales…oh my; even a hot air balloon—all against the backdrop of beautiful Donamire Farm.
Together with some 975 others who joined us along the yellow brick road, KET was able to generate record breaking support all to benefit KET’s programs and services.
Honorary Chair, Lexington Mayor Linda Gorton
