“Our Chamber’s Red, White & Blue is a non-partisan political event that spans back decades when it started as Red’s Picnic in Sorgho, just outside of Owensboro. When the Saltsman Family could no longer host the event, our Chamber continued the tradition,” said Candance Castlen Brake, Chamber President and CEO, “Our Chamber is committed to doing its part in promoting this vital aspect of a thriving community. Giving our Members the opportunity to make informed decisions is important to their bottom line.”
Red, White & Blue is on the same day as the Trail of Treats event in downtown Owensboro. Attendees are advised to bring their own chair or blanket for seating at the event.
