Here's a list of some of the local attractions for the ladies of the SVO reunion.
Bybee pottery is only open during the week. So if anyone wants to get a group together to go it would have to be on Friday. Unfortunately I will be substituting at school will not be available to go with anyone on Friday.
Bybee Pottery
(859) 369-5350
US 52
Bybee, KY 40385
Oldest pottery West of the Alleghenies. Established in 1845. World famous family pottery business. Free tours daily. Open Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. (Closed for lunch.) Kiln opens Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8:00 a.m.
Berea :
Known as the "arts and crafts capital of Kentucky", Berea is a haven for some of America's finest craftspeople. Visitors are welcomed at the nearly 20 studios and workshops.
Directions: I-75 South to Exit 76 or 77. Go left off Exit. Go about 1.5 or 2 miles. You will see Old Town Welcome Center on the left. Turn left onto North Broadway. Go to the bottom of hill to the 4-way stop and turn left. (606) 986-2540
Fort Boonesborough:
When Daniel Boone and his men reached the Kentucky River on April 1, 1775, they quickly moved to establish Kentucky’s second settlement--the site still known as Fort Boonesborough.
Fort Boonesborough has been reconstructed as a working fort complete with cabins, blockhouses and furnishings. Resident artisans perform craft demonstrations and give modern-day visitors a true sense of what life was like for pioneers in Kentucky.

Shopping:
Huge shopping center located off of I-75 at exit 108. It's about 15 minutes from Richmond. Stores include: Target, Garden Ridge, Kohl's, Goody's and others.
Richmond has a mall that is located directly across from the Saturday Show/shine.
There is also a COAD (cast off against drugs) event at Lake Reba on Saturday for kids under 16. It will have Fire and Police demonstrations, K-9 unit demonstration, live music, face painting, remote control race car track, climbing wall/obstacle course and pets from the Madison County Animal Shelter. This is a free event. 11 a.m. to 2 p.m in Softball field A. If you want to attend and need directions let me know. I will probably be taking my boys.
There are several other places around Central Kentucky that would be a great way to spend the day. Check with the hotel for more information.
Just trying to give the ladies some ideas so they don't have to hang around the parking lot all day Saturday.
Everyone stay safe on their trip to the SVO event. We'll see you all this weekend.
