Kentucky Crafted: The Market 2008

kycrafted.jpgI've never been to Kentucky Crafted: The Market so I can't give you a first hand account of how neat or interesting it is. However I can say that more than one person whose opinion I trust has urged me to write about Kentucky Crafted: The Market and encourage people to go to it. So this is me, telling you about it and encouraging you to go.

Steve over at Louisville History and Issues is very enthusiastic about this event so I'm going to quote him: "I'm telling you folks, Kentucky Crafted is quickly becoming the hottest public event of the year in Louisville! This is THE place to sample and purchase all sorts of Kentuckyfood products, meet and greet Kentucky authors, and peruse all sorts of crafts made by people right here in Kentucky. This is the ultimate "Buy Local" event! I've already gone for two years straight, and I give this show the highest recommendation.

Now, Business First is reporting that the Southeast Tourism Society has named Crafted: The Market" as one of the top 20 events in the Southeast this winter! "Every quarter, the Atlanta-based organization selects 20 of the top events for each season and publishes them in more than 300 newspapers, magazines, radio and TV stations and in 125 AAA publications, according to a news release."

Thank you Michelle for telling your readers about this fantastic event.

I would like to add that The Trend Appliances Home, Garden & Remodeling Show is also taking place this weekend, from Friday through Sunday, at the Kentucky Exposition Center (South Wing A & The New North Wing) right next door to Kentucky Crafted. Admission is $10 (or $8 with a discounted ticket from Kroger).

So, two great reasons to brave the coming cold and snow and make it out to the expo center.

No problem Steve. I hope the weather doesn't keep many people away from this event. Truthfully I'm hoping our weather people are exaggerating like they tend to do and we'll only get a little bit of snow from winter's (hopefully) last gasp.

Michelle, I share that hope. (crossing fingers)

By the way, I also got word that the Kentucky Flea Market will also be going on in South Wing C from Friday through Sunday.

Wow... if the weather isn't that bad, that place is gonna be *very* crowded!
