Knights Templar Conclave Set for Louisville Gatherings
The twenty-eighth triennial conclave of the Knights Templar of America will be held in Louisville from August 27 to 29. Up to 150,000 Knights and 10,000 ladies are expected with 30 hotels and 250 boarding houses ready to host the crowd, plus a 30,000 to 40,000 dollar illumination and decorations budget. Major events include a grand ball, horseback drills at Churchill Downs, a river excursion, and a large parade with possibly 20,000 mounted knights and 125 bands. Notables may attend, including national figures if possible, with extensive plans to showcase Louisville’s hospitality and the order’s pageantry.
