MANKATO, Minn. (KEYC) - Many of life’s most special moments find their home at Kato Ballroom.
“I think the ballroom is a really special place here in town, with a lot of memories for a lot of people,” owner Tania Cordes said.
Built in 1946, founders constructed the venue for prime acoustics, in a time when sound systems didn’t exist. The ballroom has seen nine decades of music and entertainment from across the country.
