Folks were given the opportunity to enjoy lots of good food and drink provided by local businesses as well as hear many local bands perform. It's events such as these that helps promote small businesses, increase tourism and of course helps the local economy. We make moonshine and we're working on some new flavors and actually got a vodka coming out, Kentucky handcrafted vodka and we're doing a lot of different things so we've got to bring people in, tourists in to try the restaurants and stuff and that's what I bring them back and things like this you know just kind of gives a little shot in the arm to the economy and gives us a little something and people come in for this then they'll travel down the street and eat at the other restaurants and they'll go down to the distillery and check it out so I mean it's just good for everybody. Not only do these events help small businesses but in turn provides exposure and income for many local artisans. It's a way to celebrate the region and celebrate the wonderful creative talents of the area and the individual people and also be able to support the economy here and to be able to help artists get their work out it's mutually beneficial when we sell something. It keeps us in business but it also helps individuals to be creative and make wonderful things and to be able to have an income.
