Roughly, 110 individuals participated in the event, including Sharon Spencer from the Kentucky Department of Agriculture. A KY Proud meal made up of items from Cherry Farms, Kenny’s Farmhouse Cheese, Jude Holler Farms, Garmon’s Farm and Produce, Ale 8-One and Chaney’s Dairy Barn was a huge highlight of the event.
