Kentucky State Fair opens


The Kentucky State Fair opened in Louisville on Aug. 20 and will run through Aug. 30. For 11 days, Kentucky’s biggest city becomes the capital of rural Kentucky, with livestock shows and competitions from everything from quilts and antiques to hay and ale. It’s where Kentucky products are marketed and improved, and a place where the next generation of Kentucky farmers shows what it can do. Photographs by Tom Eblen

Red House in Red House


The people of Red House have made their town impossible to forget. Coming from the outskirts, the Red House Baptist Church is only a harbinger of things to come. Next up Red House Road, Red House United Methodist Church, then Red House Red House Records and Recording Studio, the Red House Country Store, then Red House Automotive. Drive slow and on the eastern side of the road, opposite the railroad tracks, you’ll see the actual red house the town was named for. Can’t miss it, it’s the biggest and reddest thing in town.
