Kootenai Heritage Council event to feature country music stars
Now celebrating 20 years since its historic location was renovated and the doors of the Libby Memorial Events Center officially opened, this storied multi-purpose landmark has become a critical piece of local infrastructure.
Managed by an all-volunteer board, this non-profit community venue proudly presents an annual season of live performances geared toward preserving heritage, enhancing culture, and contributing to the social, educational, and economic well-being of Lincoln County.
Outside the live performance season, the center opens its amenities to host special events, banquets, community fundraisers, school concerts and productions, corporate and private seminars, state and federal elections, youth leadership training, educational workshops for area educators, weddings, memorials, and much more.
On Saturday, Oct. 8, the Kootenai Heritage Council will hold its first KHC/Libby Memorial Events Center Foundation Event: “Nashville Nights.”
This special evening of entertainment straight out of Nashville, Tennessee, will feature ALM-Nashville Hall of Fame Duo, Moore & Moore, along with James Carothers, about whom Will Hodge of Rolling Stone Country recently wrote, "Sounds like a soundtrack for the grand tour that celebrates classic country’s history of rowdy crooners and sentimental outlaws.”
Carothers is best known for his stone-country originals and spot-on impressions of some of country music’s greatest icons and will be coming to the Foundation Event with over 2,000 appearances on the Nashville music scene and a standing ovation at the Grand Ole Opry under his belt.
Moore and Moore have been blending harmonies reminiscent to those of The Judds since 1991, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard, R&R, and Gavin Charts and traveling as an opening act for the legendary Statler Brothers over the course of their storied career.
In addition to the authentic country experience on stage, the foundation event will be serving up a delicious fresh-smoked tenderloin meal and dessert. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m.
Throughout the evening there will be silent auctions, games, raffles and a brief program to highlight how the Libby Memorial Events Center and the Kootenai Heritage Council both serve and directly impact the greater Libby and Troy communities.
As with any non-profit organization, fundraising is an integral piece of the puzzle for the Kootenai Heritage Council.
Supporting the annual operations and maintenance of the Libby Memorial Events Center is no small feat.
It is through the generous support found with local businesses, organizations, individual donors, specialized grants and events such as this that the facility continues to thrive and expand its many points of service and outreach.
Reserved table seating is now open for the “Nashville Nights” event.
Individual tickets are available on a limited basis and do not guarantee seating arrangements for the evening.
