Shop in E. Ky. this season
I would like to gently encourage Central Kentuckians to do some of their Christmas shopping in Eastern Kentucky this year. There are a lot of great artists and craftspeople in the mountains who are working hard to try and help transform the economy of the mountain region, and they need our support.
Fall is a great time to visit and explore the Appalachian Mountains, and there are many good craft and gift shops in cities like Whitesburg, Morehead, Hazard and Harlan. Central Kentuckians can avoid the traffic snarls at the malls, see some beautiful mountain scenery and help diversify our state’s economy, too.
