I LOVE this time of year! Baseball, chocolate sundaes, grilling out, trees in bloom, hummingbirds, more chocolate sundaes… and Kentucky events. Lots and lots of Kentucky events.

I could, literally, write 6 hours a day – 7 days a week – about all of the outrageously cool Kentucky events coming up.

And that’s just the month of June!

Here’s one that I get a special kick out of sharing with you. As you know, I’m wild about everything related to the Land Between the Lakes, so I jump at any opportunity to head in their direction.  The Homeplace is one of my favorite places in the world, so this event announcement is especially exciting.

It’s that time of year again – time for the Annual Homeplace Pickin’ Party! This will be the 16th Annual Pickin’ Party and it just won’t be the same without you. Below are the details – commit them to memory. There may or may not be a test.

Enjoy good old-time country music as it fills the Homeplace farm in the beautiful Land Between the Lakes. After a fun day in the sun, be sure to go to The Willow Pond Catfish Restaurant in Aurora for some of the best catfish, white beans, coleslaw, potatoes, and hush puppies you ever ate.
