The Royal Coronation Ball on October 18th, to benefit AH

The last notes of ‘Rock and Royalty’ are being strummed…but not without one very loud cymbal crash as the finale nears.

That’s because there’s still The Royal Coronation Ball, presented at the Lofton ‘Coffee’ Butler Amphitheater at Truman Waterfront Park, on Friday, October 18th.

The not-to-miss party, with the Gulf as the soundtrack and a Friday night sky going South Florida violet as the backdrop, will determine who will become 2019’s reigning Royalty, beginning at 6:00 PM.

Karen Frank-Noll, Kevin ‘Woody’ Wood, Valerie Edgington and Ryan Acker have worked tirelessly as goodwill ambassadors for A.H. of Monroe County, Inc. (AH) for 8 weeks of frenzied, frisky, feisty and always fabulous fundraising events Keys-wide, assisted by a corps of volunteers, to raise the most money and ascend to the throne.

Special events have ranged from a weekly ‘Aqua Idol’ competition to upstairs Sunday BINGO at the 801 Bourbon Bar…a 4th Royal Retrospective of the history of Fantasy Fest Royalty at The Custom House…’Real Women Do Drag’, during Womenfest…to The 7th Annual Red Shirt Run.

In-between and throughout, there were bunches of brunches and oodles of orchids, a ‘Scream party and Jello wrestling. They baked, gonged, drained kegs, had a hoedown, wined and designed, donned tutus and did Saturday afternoon jailtime.

And yet the finale promises more strategic moves.

“We never know quite what to expect when our 4 Candidates take the stage,” noted AH Executive Director Scott Pridgen. “They may somehow reprise their Kick-Off production number, stage something brand-new, or simply address the audience from the heart about why they’re raising money or AH.”

The 2019 Royal Coronation Ball will be hosted, like last year, by Bria; she and Erin McKenna are produced under the supervision of Nadene Grossman Orr/We’ve Got The Keys.

General admission to The 2019 Royal Coronation Ball is a suggested donation of $10 and includes two votes for the candidate(s) of your choice. Attendees are encouraged to bring chairs or a blanket for lawn seating.

Also be sure and check out to see if $100 reserved table seating, which includes a 3-course plated dinner and two votes, is still available at https://ahi.ticketleap.com/2019-royal-coronation-ball/
