The Local Skinny! Downtown Live on Young – Amanda Ellis

/by

Young Street in downtown Henderson will be transformed in a couple of weeks for a few hours of al fresco dining, all for a good cause.
“Downtown Live on Young” will begin at 6 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 11 and Amanda Walker Ellis, chairperson of the Henderson-Vance Downtown Development Commission board said this fundraiser is all about Henderson – from the chef right down to the entertainment.

In planning for the annual event, which is the nonprofit’s major fundraiser, organizers looked “local.”

“We just wanted it to be all about Henderson, bringing Henderson back,” Ellis told John C. Rose on The Local Skinny! “This is a perfect way to show that we can and we will” succeed and thrive as a vibrant community, she added.

Instead of one long banquet-style table with a fancy flair, this year’s event will be set up a bit differently, Ellis said. There will be 10 tables that will each accommodate 10 people. Frankie Nobles BBQ N More is providing food for the event, which includes appetizers, garden salad, baked potato and made-from-scratch corn muffins, topped off with two entrees slow-smoked brisket and marinated grilled salmon. In addition to water, tea and lemonade, beer and wine will be served as well.

Ellis said all planning considered COVID-19 safety measures. For instance, each table will have its own appetizers and food will be buffet-style, but there will be designated food servers to fill plates.

On one end of the street, local musician Jimmy Barrier and friends will provide musical entertainment.

This year’s fundraiser is a little scaled back, she said, and she expressed appreciation of the various community sponsors who are providing financial support.

Tickets are $75 each – seating is limited to 100 people. Contact the Henderson-Vance Chamber of Commerce or any member of the HVDDC to get your tickets today!

The HVDDC is a nonprofit dedicated to downtown revitalization. It uses the money it raises for events and beautification projects like the one on the corner of Orange and Winder streets. Whether working to preserve buildings or address structural issues before they become bigger problems, HVDDC strives to avoid demolition and prevent neglect of buildings.

“All of that takes money,” Ellis said.
