Mrs. Kentucky 2013

Yesterday I was invited by my hometown State Representative, Jeff Greer, to come to the Capitol to be honored in the Chamber of the Kentucky House of Representatives. This was SUCH a special day for me; I will forever remember this moment!

           I ran into "America's Queen's of the Commonwealth" winners. So much bling in one photo! Love it:) They were all so pretty and so sweet.

Joe Arnold, WHAS11, asked me to record a clip for "Good Morning Kentuckiana!"

...while being recognized in the Chamber. What a special moment for me!

      We truly have a beautiful Capitol building. I had a great time walking around and seeing what it has on display. 

Also, I would like to mention the "Blankets & Beans" campaign to help the homeless and hungry in our community.  This is a Norton Healthcare campaign created to help people in need during the extremely cold winter months.  "Norton Healthcare is collaborating with Blanket Louisville and Dare to Care Food Bank to provide new and gently used blankets and nonperishable food items to help the homeless and hungry in our community.  We will hold our Blankets & Beans campaign from Feb. 11 to 22.  Collection boxes will be available and clearly marked at several Norton Healthcare locations, including all facility cafeterias and Human Resources offices." -Norton eNews Today-  I hope that by sharing this with my blog followers, we can help make a significant difference in this year's donation!

Tomorrow I will be traveling to Lexington to visit the Wine and Spirit Shop at Kroger.  There, I will be doing a wine tasting event for one of the Mrs. Kentucky Sponsors- Copa di Vino.  I am looking forward to this fun event and to travel to one of the prettiest areas of our state.  Of course I will be sharing photos of my "tasty" trip with you very soon:)
