There is Bluegrass Downs, and they have daily races. I think they'll be racing when you are in town,
so you might want to check that out.

It was goat. May have been a family pet, but it is a tradition in the small Western Kentucy

If you don't mind my asking, what town is your family from? I was raised near Fulton, and am always
interested in meeting people from KY.
 
I definitely do NOT mean KFC!!! Find a locally owned restaurant, not a chain fast food restaurant.
There _is_ a world of difference. And as another poster mentioned, try some Country Ham too.

My Apologies Moe! I saw 'Kentucky' and 'Fried Chicken' and came up with KFC. I am sure fried chicken
from a locally owned place would be delicious. Cheers Bronwyn
