The Pennyroyal Arts Council has announced a fundraiser next month at the Alhambra Theatre to benefit the residents affected by the tornadoes that ravaged western Kentucky on December 10 and 11.
The Fabulous Equinox, a Georgia-based band, will perform at the Alhambra on Saturday, January 8, making a return to Hopkinsville where they have played in the past.
Margaret Prim, the executive director of the arts council, said the benefit concert came about in the days after the tornadoes when she received a phone call at the office.
