FESTIVE SPIRITS TO GATHER
IN OLD LOUISVILLE THIS HALLOWEEN
Victorian
Masquerade Ball Will Cap off Neighborhood Celebration
Louisville, KY (April 30, 2006) --- The Old Louisville
Chamber of Commerce has announced plans to host the first-ever “Gathering
of the Spirits” festival this fall in Old Louisville, one of the
nation’s premier Victorian neighborhoods. “It will be a great
way to enjoy the fall colors and the unique architecture that make this
area so special,” says Nore Ghibaudy, director of the Visitors Center
in Historic Old Louisville, “and it is sure to become the highlight
of the local Halloween season.” Although the festival will include
various events such as a pumpkin walk and the third annual Victorian Ghost
Tour, the revelry will culminate at the first annual Spirit Ball on October
28th, the Saturday before Halloween. “The Spirit Ball,” explains
Gary Kleier, head of the Gathering of the Spirits planning committee,
“will be a gala costume affair where guests can dance the night
away in 19th-century elegance in one of the city’s most opulent
mansions.” In addition to music, dancing, prizes and a silent auction
to benefit local causes, party goers will sample gourmet cuisine and expertly
mixed cocktails as they take in the Victorian splendor of the lovely Conrad-Caldwell
House on St. James Court. “This will be the perfect way to keep
old customs alive,” says Deb Riall, director of the stately 1895
residence, “and there’s no better place to enjoy a night of
spirited dancing and colorful masquerades than the Conrad-Caldwell House.”
Local interior designers will showcase their talent in the mansion’s
specially decorated rooms, and spirits are sure to soar at this unique
neighborhood event.
