Brandy for Butterflies raises awareness of endangered species
Raising awareness of an endangered species that migrates every fall. Copper and Kings hosted “Brandy for Butterflies” at its distillery on East Washington Street on Sunday. Monarch butterflies from Idlewild Butterfly Farm were tagged and released. Guests were able to watch the migration begin while enjoying food and drinks from local vendors. The event also featured live music, crafts and a local market. “I want everyone to leave Brandy for Butterflies behind and think about what they can do in their own yard and community to save money for monarchs and protect butterflies and other pollinators,” said Amy Shelton of the Idlewild Butterfly Farm. Proceeds from ticket sales for the event benefited Re-Wilding Louisville, an organization that creates Native Pollinator Gardens for Louisville-area nonprofits. Organizers said they hope Sunday’s event will teach people more about monarch butterflies.
