The Kentucky Lake Chamber of Commerce in Marshall County was proud to conduct a Ribbon Cutting for the Benton Partnership’s new venture of leasing the newly remodeled Main Street Center in downtown Benton and the Grand Re-Opening event that was held there Thursday, July 12, 2018.

The Benton Partnership has leased the building for 12 months and plans to use it for several of their annual events like the Benton Cruise-In, Farm to Fork Dinner and the Dickens Christmas Festival, but others may still lease the space in the event center for receptions, reunions, showers, fundraisers, and political events when the partnership is not using it.

Byford and Diane Temple own the event center and have recently made some beautiful upgrades to it such as new flooring, lighting, fresh paint, new countertops and new kitchen equipment.

The center is located at 1116 Main Street on the court square in Benton. For more information about the venue, contact Diane Temple at Sydney’s Gifts and Florist at 270-527-9522.
