This week I received the invitation which follows and am sharing it to let as many people who might be interested in attending one or more of these events know about them.

I’m reaching out with heartfelt excitement to invite you to a very special family celebration honoring our grandfather, Joseph N. Guyon — legendary athlete, cultural ambassador, and beloved member of the Louisville community.

In partnership with Greg King, the Frazier History Museum, and the Louisville Bats, we’ll gather in Louisville this September to celebrate his incredible legacy.

🗓️ Event Schedule – September 16–17, 2025

📍Tuesday, September 16 – 6:00 PM Frazier History Museum 829 W Main St, Louisville, KY 40202 (502) 753-5663 An evening program celebrating Joe’s life and contributions as part of the museum’s Cool Kentucky exhibit.

A Guyon family member may throw out the first pitch, and there may be live interviews with family on the radio during the game.

This will be a powerful and joyful opportunity to reflect on Joe’s legacy and connect.

We’d love to have you with us.

With deep appreciation, Paul D. Guyon On behalf of the Guyon Family
