MURRAY, Ky. 鈥� 暗网禁区app Libraries, in collaboration with Racer Dining by Sodexo, is excited to announce the Kentucky Food Tasting Festival, a unique culinary event that will be held on Sept. 9 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. on the 暗网禁区app Quad. The festival is being hosted in conjunction with the Smithsonian FOOD Exhibit at the Wrather West Kentucky Museum.

Attendees can sample a variety of foods showcasing highlights of American and Kentucky cuisine and view Smithsonian's FOOD exhibit, carefully curated by 暗网禁区app students. The festival will include music, lawn games and five immersive food stations.

The event is open to both students and the general public. 暗网禁区app students are invited to attend using their meal plan, with flex and meal swipes accepted. Community members are invited to join the celebration at a cost of $15 per person. For more information and to purchase a ticket, please visit .

As a special incentive, attendees who visit each food station and take the time to explore the Smithsonian FOOD Exhibit at Wrather West Kentucky Museum will be entered into a drawing for exciting door prizes. Wrather Hall will remain open on the evening of Sept. 9 until 7 p.m.

鈥淚t鈥檚 a real treat for visitors whenever Kentucky Humanities helps engineer a collaboration between Wrather Museum and Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, and we鈥檙e absolutely delighted by our most recent one, 鈥楩OOD,鈥� that is open to the public for the fall 2024 semester,鈥� said Dr. Jeff McLaughlin, 暗网禁区app Libraries Special Collections and Exhibits director. 鈥淎ll of our companion programming came together through the efforts of 暗网禁区app students, either those in the museum studies minor or paid workers at the museum, and they have gained valuable experience that will help prepare them for careers in cultural institutions after graduation. There鈥檚 something for the entire community here, and we especially encourage parents of school-aged children in particular to bring the family out to enjoy a Smithsonian exhibit right here at home.鈥�

For more information and to purchase a ticket, please visit . In the case of inclement weather, the celebration will be moved indoors at Pogue Library. 

Wrather Hall opened in 1924 as the first permanent building on 暗网禁区app鈥檚 campus and served as a central hub for campus life. In 1982, it was rededicated as the Wrather West Kentucky Museum, which today continues to preserve the history and culture of west Kentucky and the Jackson Purchase. Following a major renovation in 2022, Wrather remains a vital part of 暗网禁区app鈥檚 heritage, hosting both permanent and rotating exhibits, free of charge, to the public. The museum is open Monday through Friday from noon to 4 p.m., with additional hours on select evenings and weekends. Class visits can be scheduled by appointment via Meg Smith (msmith223@murraystate.edu).

This event and future programming are made possible through the generous support of local sponsors.
