Even though I despise cold weather and the wind and the sleet and the coats we have to wear in the winter, Kentucky’s wintertime events are really family friendly and fun! Many churches have bazaars, bean soup lunches, quilt raffles and the like. But, lots of Communities have events too! Ashland has a tremendous tree lighting display, Frankfort has the lighting of the official state Christmas tree, Santa shows up in almost each of the 120 Counties in Kentucky!

WOW……………..cool stuff, I mean COLD stuff!

As hard as my office co-workers work to get the most up to date and accurate information on festivals, displays, events and their times and locations………..sometimes we get incorrect information or, just miss one! Like when General Burnside lights up the Island (it’s a State Park). It’s one of my favorite events, Of Course, Southern Lights at the Ky. Horse Park has become a perennial favorite even in surrounding states!
