On the most recent episode of CBS’s Undercover Boss, William C. Carstanjen worked “undercover” at Churchill Downs. In the video below, he learns that his “boss” has an angel named Megan – a daughter he recently lost. If this video doesn’t choke you up, check your pulse.
Unfortunately, the video cuts off before the sweetest part. Each episode of Undercover Boss ends with the big reveal, when employees discover they’ve been working with the boss. The boss in question generally tries to do what they can to make life a little better for these employees. Great stuff.
Willaim Carstanjen bestowed raises, promotions, and he even stepped up employee security. In the case of the jockey valet in the video below, Carstansjen named a memorial race at the track after his much beloved daughter. The grieving father was also invited to come to the winners circle, and bring any family members he chose to and present the winner’s trophy.
And they say there’s nothing good on tv anymore. Horse feathers.

The beautiful weather we’ve been enjoying the past few days has everyone thinking about grilling out, baseball, and summer fun in the sun. Fortunately, we have plenty of places to choose from here in Kentucky to enjoy all the fun we can handle. Green Turtle Bay in Grand Rivers, Kentucky is a great option. Resorts and Lodges.com didn’t just rank Green Turtle Bay in their Top 10 Kentucky Family Resorts, they ranked them #1.
If you’ve never had the opportunity to visit Green Turtle Bay, watch the video above to get an idea about what you’ve been missing.
I still can’t believe what a beautiful day it was in Grand Rivers, Kentucky on Marina Day. Enjoy the pictures and highlights of Grand River’s Marina Day 2009.
Green Turtle Bay is, without a doubt, one of the most beautifully scenic places you could ever hope to be.
Friendly people, too!
Michael took some fantastic pictures recently when he and a few friends teed it up on the golf course at Barren River Lake State Resort Park. According to him, the golf course offers a challenging test of golf in a relaxing setting.
When he writes a review on his golf blog, I’ll link to it from within this post.
Enjoy!
Barren River Lake State Resort Park
Here’s an original, Genuine Kentucky video featuring beautiful Barren River Lake State Resort Park. If you’re in the mood for a beautiful, peaceful lake that offers boating, swimming, and fishing – look no further than Barren River Lake and the Barren River Lake State Resort Park.

When I think of Aurora, Kentucky I think of The Hitching Post and great food: Hot Dogs (only the best in the world, guys), Catfish, hush puppies, BBQ from the Winking Pig (also known as Aurora BBQ!), and fudge that is now being sold in The Hitching Post.
I also think of the Elk and Bison Prairie and the 1850′s Homeplace, which are just minutes away.
If you haven’t visited Aurora, Kentucky lately – take your camera, your family, and an empty stomach.
This Saturday is Marina Day in Grand Rivers, Kentucky. Click HERE to learn more about the festivities.
