The Regency Exhibition Ball Committee would like to introduce this year's manager, Kimberly Lynch, along with the assistance of her husband, James. They have been a part of REB since it was started, usually in a background capacity and been managers a couple of times. After the pandemic subsided, Kimberly kept receiving messages asking for its return. She decided to regroup and give it a go this year. The committee has taken their responsibilities with renewed energy and working hard to make sure our guests have a delightful evening. We're very pleased with the response of guests eager for November 9th.

Now that the REB is formally in motion again and will continue to be an annual event, the committee is happy to announce 2025's manager, Katie Lovely. Katie has been attending the ball for as long as Kimberly and became a committee member in 2018. Her husband, Richard, is our "behind the scenes" sound equipment and general IT guy. We have appreciated both their contributions to this event. We know that they will do a wonderful job of keeping the Regency Exhibition Ball going.

We're entering our final stretch before the ball and preparations are beginning ramp up. The 2024 Regency Exhibition Ball will be held on Saturday, November 9th from 6:30-9:30pm. Doors open at 6pm. We will gather at the beautiful, historic Lansing Central United Methodist Church, 215 N. Capital Ave. in downtown Lansing, Michigan.

Dance instruction is by Ms. Julie Esch. She's accompanied by 3 musicians. Historically appropriate refreshments will be served during intermission.

There are a few tickets still available. Price is $35 each until October 31st. From November1-November 3rd, ticket prices will be $45. You must purchase your tickets prior to the event. No ticket sales after Noverember 3rd or at the door.

The Regency Exhibition Ball (REB) Committee would like to introduce you to our dance card creator extraordinaire. Scott Davis and his lovely wife and able assistant, Lori, hail to us from the Chicago area. Lori first visited the Regency through Jane Austen in graduate school. After falling in love with English Country Dancing at her first Jane Austen Society of North America conference in 2008, she searched the internet for a period-correct Regency Ball anywhere. Videos of the Regency Exhibition Ball made her long to attend. Scott willingly partnered her to the 2009 REB, and every Ball since. In 2014, Scott asked to help us by making our dance cards. Little did we know how amazing his creations would be! After researching appropriate images and type fonts, Scott then designs dance cards we hope make wonderful keepsakes for our guests.
