UK Parent and Family Association to Host Spring Family Reunion at Keeneland

LEXINGTON, Ky. (April 4, 2016) — The University of Kentucky’s first Spring Family Reunion hosted by the UK Parent and Family Association will be held at Keeneland, Saturday, April 16, 2016.

A pre-race tent party will take place on The Hill from 11 a.m.­­­­­­­­­­­­–2 p.m. The tent party will feature music by the Empty Bottle String Band, local Kentucky cuisine and the official Spring Family Reunion T-shirt.

The Spring Family Reunion will be an opportunity for UK families around the country to meet one another and take part in a cherished Bluegrass tradition.

“Keeneland is one of the best local traditions we have as well as my favorite part of spring in Kentucky, so we thought now would be a great time to get the UK family back together,” said Nancy Stephens, associate director of New Student and Family Programs.

Tickets for the event are available for purchase through the Student Involvement Ticket Center. Tickets are $35 for Parent and Family Association members, $40 for non-members and $25 for current UK students. Pricing includes admission to the pre-race tent party and grandstand seating for the Keeneland races.

Tickets are also available to attend the tent party only. These tickets do not include Keeneland admission and seating. Pricing will be $15 for Parent and Family Association members, $20 for non-members and $5 for current UK students.
