I know there are a couple of other things going on the night of Friday, September 13. But you would be downright silly if you opt out of The 26th Annual Salute to Excellence in Education Gala. The festivities give folks an opportunity to peep St. Louis’ formal swag as we honor the best and brightest in education. And the after party is ALWAYS poppin’! This year we have the legendary DJ Kut on the tables and MC Lyte on the mic. That’s right, you read it correctly…the ONE AND ONLY hip-hop legend will be playing host at the Budweiser Black Crown Dance Party. We sell out every year, but we might have some scattered seats somewhere in the mix. Call (314) 533-8000 or visit stlamerican.com for more information.
