“New cost saving initiative”
A few weeks back, Vespa Lexington got the opportunity to provide a new 2009 Vespa LX 50 that was to be auctioned off at the KET Summer Celebration held at the beautiful Donamire Farm. The event was a huge success, raising nearly $200,000 for KET. Our Vespa was one of more than 275 spectacular souvenirs offered in the silent auction.
The winning bidders of our 2009 Vespa LX 50 were the events honorary ringmasters Pearse and Deirdre Lyons. For those who are not familiar with Dr. Pearse Lyons, he is the founder of Kentucky-based multinational biotechnology corporation Alltech. Among many other things, Alltech happens to be the title sponsor of the Alltech/FEI World Equestrian Games coming to Kentucky in 2010.
The week following the auction, Alltech requested that we bring a new Vespa by their headquarters. It was displayed in the foyer during a World Equestrian Games meeting, next to a sign that said “New Cost Saving Initiative“. How cool is that? We were very excited to bring a new Vespa to the Alltech headquarters.
Vespa Lexington would like to extend a BIG THANKS to KET, Pearse and Deirdre Lyons, and Alltech for allowing us to be a part of all these awesome events. I am sure the Lyons are going to have a blast on their new Vespa.
