WORTH A MINT
When I say “Kentucky,” what immediately comes to mind? You may be surprised to hear that I don’t immediately think KFC, ha. No, I always think Kentucky Derby, big hats and mint juleps. It is interesting how some events can become tied to an entire state’s image. I love the Derby, but Kentucky has lots to offer including an excellent National Juried Art Show.
