Welcome to this week's The411. I has learned that a Louisville family will be apart of ABC's Wife Swap.
They have already taped the program and the family is just waiting on the airdate. It will be apart of this season which started just three weeks ago. The family tells me they are excited about the show and are already getting requests for Kentucky Derby events. I can't tell you just yet the name of the family but they are apart of the commercial that airs on WHAS and ABC. Wife Swap can be seen on Fridays 8 pm.
Speaking of Derby events there's going to be alot of partieis and events. Some of the names being released Dennis Rodman, Allan Houston, NeNe Leakes of the Real Housewives of Atlanta, Chris Redman and Rodney Harrison. To find out what events they plan on attending go to WHAS11.com and click on Derby/Horseracing section.
As soon as I get The411 on upcoming events I will pass it along to you.
Alot of people have been wondering if local groups would get an opportunity to perform during the Hullabalou Music Festival. Churchill Downs Entertainment will hold a competition for unsigned bands. Winners will be selected by Leo Weekly Readers. You need to submit your original music, press kit and contact information to the LEO by April 28th. Hullabalou is July 23rd through the 25th at Churchill Downs.
If you have an event send it to the411@whas11.com. I'm Sherlene Shanklin with WHAS11 News. .
