One of the most anticipated moments of the Christian Academy Gala is our live auction and we are excited to highlight one special auction item that will be featured on March 12 – a Hustler 48″ Zero Turn Mower generously provided by Southern Indiana Equipment. This standout item is sure to generate excitement and is a wonderful example of the generosity that makes the Gala such a meaningful evening.

In addition to this featured auction item, the Gala will offer a truly remarkable culinary experience, featuring tastings from some of our area’s most talented local chefs. As part of our ongoing restaurant spotlight series, we’re excited to highlight three more chefs who will help make the evening unforgettable – each bringing a unique flavor and passion to the table.

Repeal Oak Fired Steakhouse
Raise a glass to authenticity at Repeal Oak Fired Steakhouse, Whiskey Row’s only oak-fired steakhouse. Housed in the former site of J.T.S. Brown and Sons’ wholesale warehouse and bottling operations, it’s where the family welled up with pride as their labels became staples in barrooms all over the country. It’s where they fought back tears as Prohibition took everything away. It’s where they soldiered on towards Repeal. This is why we reclaim history by preparing steaks over the flames of oak-aged barrels. This is the place for those with a taste for experience.

The Fair Restaurant 
The Fair Restaurant delivers an elevated dining experience in the heart of downtown New Albany, where thoughtful cuisine and gracious hospitality come together. Our menu highlights carefully crafted dishes made with seasonal ingredients, designed to be both refined and approachable. Set within an elegant yet inviting atmosphere, The Fair is ideal for intimate dinners, celebrations and evenings meant to be savored, where every detail is intentional and every visit feels special.

Stumler’s Catering
