The Gallopalooza Live Auction Committee, chaired by Fran Thornton has selected the 40 decorated fiberglass horses to be in the Gallopalooza Live Auction Gala (additionally, nearly 60 other horses will be in an online auction at www.gallopalooza.com)
WHEN: VIP Cocktail Reception 6:00 - 7:00 p.m.
Doors Open t...o Oaddock Ticket Holders at 7:00 p.m.
LIVE AUCTION 7:30 - 10:30 p.m., Friday, November 20, 2009
Gallopalooza, Inc., the civic pride project that is currently displaying more than 130 life-size horses designed by professional and amateur artists throughout the Louisville area, plans to auction approximately 100 of the horse statues to the highest bidders in Live and Online Auctions next month to raise money for community beautification projects done in partnership with Brightside. The 32 remaining horses were bought by their initial sponsors, who had the first right of refusal to purchase the artful equines outright.
Since April, the horses have been on public display on sidewalks and street corners throughout Louisville and surrounding counties. Once individuals or companies purchase the horses at auction, the statues may be moved to the display location of their choice.
“We have had great interest in this year’s herd, especially the foals,” noted Lynn Huffman, executive director of Gallopalooza. “There is also huge interest in Black Jack, created by Flags4Vets, and America’s Victory Ryder, which was signed by all thirty professional golfers in town for the 2008 Ryder Cup.”
The last time Gallopalooza had horses up for auction was in 2004. Average price for the colorful colts at that time was $3,500, with the top one (War Admiral by Marí Renn) selling for more than $16,000.
Tickets to the Live Auction Gala, which is sponsored by Kindred Healthcare and Virginia Lyons Speed, cost $50 for general admission seating and $100 for VIP seating, which includes a special reception that begins at 6:00 p.m. For more information about the auction, visit www.gallopalooza.com or call Huffman at 502.394.0978.
Gallopalooza was created in 2003 as a sister organization to Brightside which was launched in 1986 by Mayor Jerry Abramson. Brightside also promotes civic pride by partnering with citizens to keep Louisville clean, green and environmentally aware.

Brightside’s Environmental Youth Summit, to be held Oct. 13 at UofL is interactive workshop for students grades 4-12. Students from throughout Jefferson County join together and rally around a state education initiative called Kentucky’s Green & Healthy Schools Program. This interactive program challenges students to i...nvestigate environmental issues and promote individual responsibility for the earth and their school. Students engage in hands-on environmental activities in eight key areas: energy, green spaces, transportation, resource management, hazardous chemicals, indoor air quality, storm water and climate change. Youth Summit empowers students to examine their personal choices and address ways in which they can make small changes in their daily living that will result in improved health and environmental impact in Louisville.Read More
