The All For Benny Gala, sponsored by the Clinton County Community Foundation, saw a full house Saturday of guests dining and visiting under the lights and stars of downtown Albany. In just over an hour’s time, the tables and chairs that would seat the more than 100 guests, went from empty to full capacity as everyone enjoyed the evening meal, a brief presentation by Foundation Advisory Board Members, an address by U.S. Congressman and former Kentucky Agriculture Commissioner James Comer and the announcing of Silent Auction winners before the event ended.

The focus of this year’s second annual All For Benny Gala was to raise awareness of the Foundation and its work, as well as to benefit the group’s current project, the development of a new Farmer’s Market in downtown Albany.
