Bennett Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Not only is April 15th, Tax Day, it’s also Lexington’s Gallery Hop! For this month’s theme “Best of the Bluegrass,†the Blue Grass Trust has chosen an exhibit that focuses attention on the history, significance and plight of the Old Taylor and Old Crow Distilleries. The show runs Friday, April 15th from 6pm until 8pm in the Hunt-Morgan Carriage House Gallery, 201 North Mill Street.All Straight Bourbon.com members are invited to attend. Besides the main exhibit, there will be whiskey-memorabilia, and maybe a whiskey sampling (still working the details out on that part). This is an excellent opportunity to get together, share with others Kentucky’s whiskey culture, and brainstorm ways to help preserve it. Please tell your friends! The Gallery Hop is a cooperative effort coordinated by the Lexington Arts & Cultural Center to draw the community downtown, and to cultivate an appreciation for the visual arts.Sorry for the short notice, I just found out about this today myself! Hope to see some of you there. Best,Amy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bennett Posted April 13, 2005 Author Share Posted April 13, 2005 Another update:Rebecca Ruth Candy Factory is donating enough bourbon balls for 75 people, the Capital City Museum in Frankfort is loaning us some of their whiskey memorabilia, Bettye Jo is loaning us part of her Heaven Hill Exhibit (it is awesome!) and Ed is loaning some of his collection too. I appreciate everyone's contributions, and look forward to meeting some of you locals there!Amy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennett Posted April 17, 2005 Author Share Posted April 17, 2005 Here's a photo of Bettye Jo's exhibit space from the event. We had over 200 people show up to view the exhibit (well some may have just been there for the bourbon). More photos on the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
