RUDY FEST… WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT!

Frank Rice is one of our favorite people, and nobody can deny everything he and Grayson Sanitation have done for our community.

But tonight, we’re Team Rudy.

Let’s show up for Rudy Burchett and help him take home the win while supporting an incredible cause. Every dollar helps local animals, so it’s a win no matter what.

If you donate, be sure to put “Rudy” in the message section so your donation counts toward his total.

Let’s show them what the Rudy Fest family can do!

A special thank you to Ace Bookkeeping LLC and Jerry Pelfrey Fireworks for helping light up Rudy Fest!

This year, our 3 nights of fireworks were presented by Jerry Pelfrey Fireworks, with Paintsville and Georgetown locations, and hosted by Ace Bookkeeping LLC.

Those fireworks are part of the Rudy Fest magic. The kind of moments families stop for, kids remember, and everyone looks forward to year after year.

We are grateful for sponsors who invest in the experience, the tradition, and the memories that make Rudy Fest simply the best.

Please join us in thanking Ace Bookkeeping LLC and Jerry Pelfrey Fireworks for their support!

🎤✨ A Rudy Fest moment worth celebrating ✨🎤

We love when Rudy Fest brings together music, talent, community and a little magic.

Rudy Fest would like to give a very special thank you to The Blushing Bride + Co. for providing hair and makeup services for Hannah Harper during her time with us in Morehead.

When Hannah was introduced to their work, she was impressed and happily agreed to work with their team. Voted Best in Kentucky, The Blushing Bride + Co. brought the professionalism, artistry and hospitality that make them such a standout local business.

Before heading to the mountain, Hannah visited their studio for her stage-ready hair and makeup look. Their team then joined us backstage for final touch ups before she stepped onto the Rudy Fest stage.

We also want to thank The Flower Lady, Bethany, for creating a gorgeous bouquet for Hannah, and Kaylee Purvis Art for the thoughtful quilted vase keepsake. Those special touches made Hannah’s visit feel even more personal and memorable. 💐

From the studio to the stage, this was one of those moments that made us proud of the creative community we have right here at home.

Thank you, The Blushing Bride + Co., for representing Morehead and Kentucky with such excellence. We are grateful you were part of this special Rudy Fest memory. 🩷
