A unique dinner experience is coming up in Wichita Falls and you can help out an amazing organization in town.

Beacon's Lighthouse helps people who are blind or visually impaired find jobs in the Wichita Falls area. They have a benefit dinner coming up on October 11th that will help raise money for their organization. Blake stopped by the studio today to talk about how this benefit dinner will be a little different than ones you have gone to in the past.

Blake Stops by to Discuss Shine Through the Night Gala

Interview with Beacon Lichthouse Inc.

Blake told me how this dinner will have a unique feature where they will have glasses so you can experience the different types of blindness that people go through. I actually brought up that I have a friend that has a unique type of blindness and Blake told me I could attempt to eat a dinner that night with glasses that have his visual impairment.

What Different Visual Impairments Look Like

Here is a good example on the types of glasses you will be able to experience eating your dinner with on that day. It won't just be pitch black out glasses.
