It’s SpringTINI Time Let’s Get Ready to Cocktail! By Karen Hammond
I
t’s spring in Paducah which in my opinion is the prettiest time of the year in western Kentucky. The flowers are blooming, the dogwoods look fantastic, and it’s not too humid. I’m ready to sip a refreshing drink at one of the many fantastic bars and restaurants in downtown Paducah. What could be better than the return of SpringTINI?!
Back in 2011, LivWell Community Health Services, which was then known as Heartland CARES, started a new fundraiser. SpringTINI is now their signature, annual event where participants sample handcrafted cocktails created by local bars and restaurants. During the pandemic, LivWell decided to pivot to SpringTINI with a twist (get it?) SpringTINI-To-Go offers individually packaged cocktails ready to drink. SpringTINI-To-Go has been a huge success and for 2022 organizers have elected to stay with this format.
Get Your Party Packs!
Plan your party now and place your order for your Party Pack! SpringTINI-To-Go kicks off on Thursday, May 26. Party Packs can be picked up between 4 and 7:30pm. They will be part of a cute and fun, commemorative zippered backpack. Each backpack will include signature martinis paired with snacks from Midtown Market, a $10 virtual auction credit, swag items from the event sponsors, including an event t-shirt, and information. Participants will be able to vote virtually on their favorite bartender and martini. A Party Pack is just $50 and contains a selection of 10 – 12 cocktails in individual 2oz glass bottles – just pour over ice, shake and enjoy! The pick-up location will be outside LivWell’s Paducah clinic at 1903 Broadway Street.

LivWell is thrilled to be partnering with the following restaurants and bars to bring you some incredible martinis.
