Valley Gold Holiday Classic in Youngstown featuring R&B holiday music

The first annual Valley Gold Holiday Classic is coming to Youngstown in November 2022.
The Valley Gold event will be formatted similarly to a award show. It will begin with a red-carpet premiere, followed by a R&B holiday music concert. It will close with a Black-Tie Reception Gala with finger foods, a DJ and dancing.
Debórah Benton, Executive Producer of the TV show "Valley Gold with Debórah," is hoping to establish this as an annual event by combining the TV show's milestones and the people of the Valley.
"They're the gold. I'm in TV and entertainment, so it just makes sense for me to take a lesson out of Hollywood's playbook to showcase the gold embedded in, and surrounding the Valley," Benton said.
Awards will be given out to the TV shows interview guests whose episodes got the highest number of views.
Tickets for the event are currently on sale. Early bird tickets are available for $75 until September 30. Regular ticket prices begin October 1 at $100 each.
Tickets are available online through Eventbrite. They can also be purchased in person at RBG Eatery in Warren and Goldie's Flowers in Youngstown.
A portion of the ticket proceeds will go to the Mahoning Valley Rescue Mission.
The event will begin at 6 p.m. on November 12 at East High School, located at 474 Bennington Avenue in Youngstown.
Seating is limited to 500 people.
