King Bram. I'm fifty five Karros the talk station.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Hey, forty four fift you have Karos de talk station.
Some days are better than others at being me. Today
it's a great day to meet me in studio to
talk about the Marty gra benefiting the homeless children. I
have the founding chairman for the Marty Grave event, Gordy,
along with from Bethany House Peg and Jimmy who's the
general manager of Governor's House and makes a killer, awesome meatball.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Jimmy, thank you so much. It was that bit just I.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
Love seeing a look on your face.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
There are things in the I'm a gourmont. I love food.
I grew up in the kitchen. I love to cook.
I like make my own meatballs. They don't touch these,
trust me. Thank you so much. I have really high
expectations and standards. You've exceeded them. Man, these are great.
Are you going to be serving these at the Marty
Graus event.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
Absolutely if you're serving those at the Marty grav vents,
and I hope everybody enjoys them as much as you have.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
The imperfect even for me at least.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Peg, Gordy, you guys had some of his meatballs yet.
Oh yeah, okay, yeah good. I'm better get out there
and get another one before they disappear. Food has a
way of just evaporating around the studios here, all right?
The website is what is it? Marty gra twent or
twenty twenty five dot org. Do I have that right?
Speaker 6 (02:18):
You do?
Speaker 7 (02:18):
Marty Graw twenty twenty five dot org, Brian, that's right.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Now, it's benefiting homeless children. Let's talk about the ways
in which this event will benefit homeless children. We'll talk
about sponsors and what we're going to see and do
there and also the date. So who wants to cover
the how how the benefit proceeds work, Because you guys
have been at this for this is the thirty fourth
year for this.
Speaker 7 (02:39):
All right. Peg is from Bethany House. Go ahead, Peeg.
Speaker 6 (02:42):
There's three organizations that serve homeless families in our region,
Bright and Center, Welcome House and Bethany House. And we
use the proceeds. We have a great party for a
really good cause. We feed the children that we serve
in these families with the proceeds, so it helps us
feed children all year. Often families are homeless for almost
(03:06):
a year before they get to shelter. On any given day,
Bethany House has one hundred kids living in our emergency
shelter trying to find a way. Their parents are finding
a way to get rehoused, so we use this money
to feed them well.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
And I really appreciate your being here, and I'm aware
of this homeless problem because I've talked to folks like
Bethany House over the years. Explain to my lead listeners
who might be in a state of disbelief that there
are really homeless children out there, because I think quite
often people think of the homeless person as you know,
the vagrant sort of in a corner in an alleyway,
probably drug addicted or maybe hate suffering from some cognitive
(03:43):
struggles or psychological problems. But that's not the case that
we're usually talking about here, though, is it right.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
Family homelessness is really a hidden problem because parents will,
as we know, parents will do anything to keep their
kids safe, and so they'll find a stairwell in an
apartment house where they can live under, maybe a storage unit,
a shelter at a state park or city park. They'll
(04:12):
find lots of places where they can sleep and coexist
with whatever else is going on. In the area and
their kids will be safe well.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
And from my understanding, correct me if I'm wrong.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Quite often this is almost like a spur of the
moment homelessness because they live in a dangerous situation at home.
Maybe they're an abusive relationship situation Mom grabs a jam bag,
grabs the kids and just heads out. Really maybe with
no destination.
Speaker 6 (04:39):
A lot of our parents are escaping abusive relationships. Many
are just can't afford the rent anymore. And if you
have a high medical bill that you didn't have insurance for,
or a car repair and you had to get the
car fixed so that you could get to your job,
you might not have enough money for the rent. And
(05:00):
then and of course in our area, rent has exponentially
increased since COVID.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Now do you put these families, these children, and these
mothers in touch with organizations that might be able to
help them out to deal with those challenges. I immediately
think of the Help Squad over on the West Side,
because sometimes women will come to them and like they
can't make that rent payment, they need that one month assistance,
or they're going to find themselves in this situation. Help Squad,
(05:28):
you know that's them and we'll get them the money. Yeah, here,
we're helping you out this month. Or in one case,
they actually bought this poor woman who had to drive
be on a bus three hours a day to get
to her job.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Right, they got her a car.
Speaker 7 (05:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
It's incredible, you know, because if you have to get
your kids to day care or to school and then
get to your job, that could be a three hour
bus ride, yes, ma'am. So there's lots of organizations Saint
Bencent to Paul Community Action agencies. Each of the three
agencies I mentioned Bethany House included we raise funds so
(06:02):
we can provide a little bit of financial assistance to
help smooth those barriers, all right.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
And one of the ways you raise funds and it's
been wildly successful, thirty fourth annual Culinary Celebration. It's the
Marti grav benefiting the homeless. I'll turn to you, Gordy,
founding chairman, been at this a long time. Let my
listeners know how much money you put together with this
event over the years.
Speaker 7 (06:24):
Well, so far we've raised two point seven to three
Brian two point three seven three million dollars. That's amazing,
and we're hoping to raise about two hundred thousand this year,
so that's our goal this year. We'll see see if
we can get everybody there that night to help us
raise some money. We have a silent auction, a live auction,
and just a really big party for everybody to come.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
A great celebratory event. What day is it? What day
is it? We'll learn about the details on it, the where,
the when, the why, the house. So what win is
the date we need to mark down on our calendar.
Speaker 7 (06:52):
So it's Tuesday, February eighteenth. It's early this year. Normally
Fat Tuesday is March fourth this year, but we we
didn't get the spacebook at the convention center because of
Cincinnati shutting down and Cincinnati Convention Center took all the
space at Northern Kentucky. So anyway, we had to move
it up a little bit. So it's two weeks earlier,
February eighteenth. We'll call it to Tasty Tuesday this year.
(07:14):
So at any rate, it's it's going to be five
thirty to ten o'clock at the Northern Kentucky Convention Center
this year. We've got free parking right across the street
in the Kenton County.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Well that's an improvement.
Speaker 7 (07:25):
So yeah, yeah, well, you know it was a tough.
It was tough for everybody to when they wanted to
come to the event to find a place to park.
So this year we just bought out the garage. Oh
that's great and so now get people get free parking.
It's right across the street.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
So you mentioned silent auction and I imagine you have
all kinds of sponsors that donated items for the silent auction.
Oh yeah, yeah, all the times one of these events
without people being generous.
Speaker 7 (07:46):
And a live auction too, Brian, Oh.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Yeah, but it can give me an example of one
of the Well.
Speaker 7 (07:50):
We we have Reds opening day packages, we have a
Caribbean cruise. We got everybody loves this slushpuppy machine that
give away for so it's yeah, we've got all kuyds.
We've got a a cable deep deep sea fishing trip
this year, so that's gonna be neat.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Yeah, I want the slush puppy machine.
Speaker 7 (08:12):
You want to slush.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Show off?
Speaker 7 (08:16):
Yeah, And we've got fifty four restaurants and beverage preveyers
this year. We've got a great entertainment from d V
eight this year. They're brand new too, so they're they're
very popular group there.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Now, Jimmy, general manager of Governor's House, You're you're gonna
be serving these meatballs. So I'm doubly sure of that. Yeah,
because if you have all those food vendors there, I'm
just gonna wonder how people are gonna find room because
everybody's gonna be gathering around Jimmy's meatball.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
That's exactly what happened last year when I did that,
our booth was packed and everybody else, you know.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Nobody wanted give you some examples of some of the
other restaurants that are gonna be starving.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
Well, then there's Blinkers will be there, which is right
next door to us in the Covington area. They'll be
serving food as well. I'm not sure exactly what they'll
be serving, but I've seen with some of the.
Speaker 7 (09:01):
Other Yeah, it was actually Blinkers is serving at Port
with the with the bourbon glaze. You've got City Barbecue
there with their their famous beef brisket notch. We've got
eighteen at the Retson serving lobster mac and cheese. We've got,
of course Governor's House there with their meatballs. We've got
the Hooters girls will be there with their with their
(09:22):
Cajun wings. He S will be there with their famous
rupe sandwich, Luigi Steak, Luigi's Restaurant will be there with
creole lasagna. Vadrin will be there with Cajun pasta. Plumpilias
will be there with their Cajun chicken putin esca. It
goes on and on, Bri.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Those are all winners from my.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Forget all the nice uh alcohol vendors too, they'll be there.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Well, you know that was gonna be my next question.
You adult beverages of.
Speaker 7 (09:51):
Course, Margarita's wine, beer, all kinds of.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Last year I got to reminisce with some little Kings.
Speaker 7 (09:57):
Little Kings.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Oh wow, that takes me back, Yes it does.
Speaker 7 (10:03):
There's so much food and beverages here. If you can't
have a good time here, you can't have a good
time anywhere.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
You've got everything covered, great food, great beverages, you've got
great music, entertainment, the live auction and the big and
the silent auctions as well, and it all benefits the
wonderful services Bethany House provides each and every day. Services
we really really wish and pray weren't necessary, and you
know there's always it's sort of the pall that's cast
over this wonderful event is that you do need the
(10:30):
funds because there are homeless out there that children most
notably need these services. So thanks for what you're doing
at Bethany House. It's wonderful.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Peg.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
So tickets are available at the website I just mentioned,
it's Marti Gras.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
T five dot org. Can I ask out loud how
much you take the costs?
Speaker 7 (10:50):
Well, the tickets are as little as one hundred dollars.
All that includes everything including parking this year, there's all
kinds of different levels that you can buy. Sure, and
we also need sponsors. They want to learn more how
to be a sponsor, corporate sponsor, or a table sponsor.
Go out to Marty gra twenty twenty five dot org. Well,
and a salute to the sponsors.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
I'm looking under the web page Wiler Family Foundation in
Mercedes Benz of Fort Mitchell and with the North Kentucky
Convention Center. Without those folks, these events do not happen
and the money doesn't get raised. Well, you certainly got
my attention, Gordye Peg, Jimmy and again Jimmy props on
the meat buk.

the Thomas household.

founding chairman, been at this a long time. Let my
listeners know how much money you put together with this
event over the years.
Speaker 7 (06:24):
Well, so far we've raised two point seven to three
Brian two point three seven three million dollars. That's amazing,
and we're hoping to raise about two hundred thousand this year,
so that's our goal this year. We'll see see if
we can get everybody there that night to help us
raise some money. We have a silent auction, a live auction,
and just a really big party for everybody to come.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
A great celebratory event. What day is it? What day
is it? We'll learn about the details on it, the where,

So this year we just bought out the garage. Oh

It's right across the street.
Speaker 1 (07:36):

all kinds of sponsors that donated items for the silent auction.
Oh yeah, yeah, all the times one of these events
without people being generous.
Speaker 7 (07:46):
And a live auction too, Brian, Oh.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
