Brenda Elder, Fundraising Event Planning Chairperson for the Chautauqua Auditorium Preservation Committee, appeared as a guest on the NEWSTALK WTIM Morning Show, live from our Downtown Shelbyville studios, Friday. Elder explained that the preservation committee is holding some events this summer in the auditorium, including Chautauqua Day on June 11th which will have food and merchandise vendors selling their wares and a special area just for kids.

Chautauqua Day will also have other events going on such as a Fireman's Smoke House, to teach about fire safety, a car show, and live music from Jeannie Kendall and Carl Acuff Jr.

You can get tickets to this event from the Shelbyville Chamber of Commerce or Shelby County Tourism, and for more information on the Chautauqua Auditorium Preservation Committee and the events they are holding, you can find them on Facebook at Save Our Chautauqua.
