When is National Kentucky Day?

Thursday October 19th

We began honoring each state in the order they were born in the union, beginning with Hawaii and ending with Hawaii on Independence Day. We feature a small portion of each state's past, foods, and the people who make up the state. So much more to discover; we can't help but celebrate our beautiful country even more!
