WNIN’s Annual Gala will be held at the Evansville Museum and will feature special guest Jessica Fellowes, niece of Downton Abbey’s creator Julian Fellowes and author of three official companion books. Fellowes will share her extensive behind-the-scenes knowledge of the show and will autograph copies of her books.

This year’s gala is inspired by the final season of Downton Abbey, the most-watched drama in PBS history and one of the highest-rated dramas on American television. The atmosphere of the gala will transport guests back in time to the glamorous lives of the ficitional Crawley family. Period dress is encouraged.

Guests will enjoy gourmet hors d’oeuvres, wine and bourbon tastings, and unique auction items, including a South African Airways, African Travel, and Holt Travel. The package includes international airfare, hotel accommodations, plus an African safari, and will go to the high bidder.

Tickets are $125 each and space is limited. Contact Nikki Wessley at the number below or email nwessley@wnin.org for more information.
