The information / entertainment element of the evening was provided by Richard Domek, Professor of Music at the University of Kentucky. As the evening progressed and the music heated up, Dick shed his coat for his presentation on "Ragtime and Stride Music." Ragtime piano music swept the country early in the twentieth century. Domek, a ragtime pianist, explained and demonstrated why this fresh music so delighted Americans. He covered the musical trademarks of ragtime and its jazzy offshoot, stride piano. He will also review contemporary reactions to ragtime. He also played one of his original ragtime compositions, "The Walnut Street Rag" which was written and performed in the style of Scott Joplin. His presentation was funded in part by the Kentucky Humanities Council and the National Endowment for the Humanities.

The buffet dinner included: sugar brown ham, turkey breast, country style mashed potatoes, giblet gravy, corn pudding dressing, green beans, rolls, pecan pie and pumpkin pie, rum cake and beverages.
