Life, liberty, and the pursuit of apple cider at Locust Grove's 18th Century Market Fair [Family & Parenting]

Travel back in time to the founding of our fair city at Locust Grove, where their annual Eighteenth Century Market Fair boasts period-correct entertainers, goods for sale, and a thrilling Revolutionary War reenactment on the stunning grounds.

After founding a city like Louisville, where might one retire? On the wild frontier of the eighteenth-century Ohio River Valley, it's difficult to imagine an easy retirement for anyone, but George Rogers Clark, father of River City, was one of the lucky ones. The historic home of Locust Grove, a beautiful 55-acre homestead just east of modern downtown Louisville, is where Clark spent his final years in peace, and its grandeur can still be experienced today.

What to do at the Kentucky State Fair if you don't like state fairs [Kentucky State Fair]

A list of some things to do at the Kentucky State Fair that are fun for people who don't have anything to do with livestock, don't have kids, don't like country music, and generally don't think state fairs are fun.

Between the smell, the heat, and the mullets, some people aren’t County Fair people, and I can totally understand them.  The Kentucky State Fair was my first fair because the Ohio State Fair is held in Columbus, and no one I ever knew in Cleveland cared enough to make the two-hour drive, me included.

Lyndon Area Fair one reason that makes this neighborhood great [Lyndon]

This past weekend, Lyndon showed it's best, and why it is one of Louisville's great neighborhoods.

This past weekend, Lyndon showed us why it is a great neighborhood. The annual Lyndon Area Fair at Robsion Park was unpacked, and a good time was had by all.

Sure, the usual fair folk were there: food vendors pushing elephant ears and overpriced sodas. Carnies taking tickets for a ride that gave your kid a quick thrill. A gauntlet of sponsors who tried to sell  you their wares before you escaped.

Lyndon Area Fair set for family fun on June 18 [Lyndon]

The summer festival season has started, and no place does it better than Lyndon.

When I think of summer, I think of festivals and fairs that are teeming with people celebrating together. I think of hot dogs, cotton candy, elephant ears and corn on the cob. I think of booths with kids games, and a row of carny games that are more than willing to take your dollar for a chance at a stuffed animal you'll have no idea what to do with when you win it. And, I think of beer and laughter (those two often go hand in hand!).
