After much deliberation, the La Grange Kentucky Main Street Program has made the decision to postpone the Blue Hydrangea Tea live event, which was scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 20. This annual event raises money and support for women’s health.
After consulting with Oldham County Health Department, CDC officials, ticket holders and volunteers it was determined that the best course of action was to postpone the event. Our objective is to protect our guests - many of whom are in a higher risk category - from any unhealthy exposure. The top priority of Ovarian Awareness of Kentucky, Baptist East and the La Grange Kentucky Main Street program is our relationship to the women served by Ovarian Awareness of Kentucky and our community at large, As responsible community members and health care professionals it is our duty to take every precaution we can to keep everyone safe and healthy.
KEEP WATCHING FOR MORE INFO ON OUR SPECIAL EVENT.

We are so glad you have planned to join us on what promises to be a beautiful day!

Here is how the tea works: Most shops on and around Main St. are typically closed on Sundays. But on Sunday, April 26th, they will open their doors from 1 to 5 pm to raise money and awareness for women's health. Each tea guest receives a gift bag of assorted goodies and health information, and gets to choose a teacup (to keep). Guests then visit the participating locations, which are identified by a teal ribbon and a “We Have Tea” sign out front. Each shop has a different beverage and light snack to sample. In-store specials, door prizes, and drawings are held during the event. Guest will receive tickets with their registration.
We have music and entertainment, and local health services are on hand for simple screenings and health information.
This event is a great way for tea guests to welcome spring, visit the charming historical district of LaGrange, and support a worthwhile causes for women’s health. We hope to see you and a friend or two there!

A little background to this event: In 2007, Cindy Adams, owner of The Emporium, was diagnosed with stage 3C ovarian cancer. As a merchant on Main Street, she wanted to raise awareness and raise money for a support group (OAK) that had become instant family to her. She came up with the idea for the Progressive Tea and organized the first event. Sadly, her battle ended in March 2008.
This year we also pay special tribute to Kim Silcox, past owner of Picked & Painted. Kim bravely faced Ovarian cancer with courage, unwavering faith and
a contagious smile until her passing in fall 2019.
We hold this event annual in celebration of all women who have made LaGrange special!
