Kentucky is a state defined by its history and noted for a number of things, not the least of which is horse racing, bourbon, bluegrass music and barbecue.
But, as natives Bob Shrader and Matt Hilton remind us each week, there’s so much more to the Bluegrass State and its people, culture and rural charm. Shrader and Hilton combine their talents to produce the award-winning Bluegrass & Backroads, a 30-minute program aired regionally on the Kentucky Education Television networks and nationally via satellite on RFD-TV through Dish Network, DirecTV and several major cable outlets.
The long-running series features festivals, unique businesses, tourism sites, crafters and more within the state’s four distinct regions. It is produced at the Kentucky Farm Bureau state headquarters in Louisville.
This week, we’re sharing the team’s visit with the dentist who treats all the animals at the Louisville zoon, Dr. Thomas Clark.
