Bluegrass Treasures & Horse Farms Give-Away

June 29th, 2009 by jake · No Comments

We recently gave away copies of The Complete Guide to Kentucky State Parks because we love our magnificent state parks system.

And now, thanks to Sunshine Publications, we’ve pleased to give away two copies (each) of Horse Farms and Horse Tales of the Bluegrass and Bluegrass Treasures: A Guide to Extraordinary Lodging, Dining & Entertainment. If you’re a Kentuckian or someone who plans to visit the Commonwealth of Kentucky, these books could come in handy.

Horse Farms tells the stories of Kentucky’s thoroughbred industry dating back to the Commonwealth’s early statehood and includes some recent additions to the racing scene. The stories of the beautiful horse farms we all cherish are deep and interesting. A few have absentee owners, some are family-owned and operated but all of them consistently produce outstanding horses. The book is a thin 91 pages but contains 85 black and white photographs and an area map. It includes a visitor’s guide that details racetracks, rehabilitation facilities and a jockey school.

Bluegrass Treasures is a real traveler’s guide and details the Bluegress Region. You’ll find information about the finest inns, beds & breakfasts, coffee shops, cafes, bistros, fine restaurants, golf courses, horses, lakes, hiking trails, theaters, festivals, the arts and an infamous castle. The book is likewise a thin and convenient 94 pages and contains tons of full-color photographs and maps. Written by Wilma Clapp and Mary Newton Davis, it’s also sure to be treasured by anyone who loves Kentucky.

So, leave a comment we’ll draw winners this Friday afternoon. You know the drill. Two winners receive a copy of each book.

In light of recent horse industry news, the least we can do is keep this conversation going. So maybe let us know what you love about the Bluegrass with your comment. And keep it positive.
