FROM THE

We all have one—you know, the friend who has their holiday shopping complete before Thanksgiving. All of their lists have been checked twice and packages stored away neatly leaving plenty of time for custom and creative wrapping and perhaps a few fresh baked batches of beautifully decorated cookies to go along with them. I envy them. Reality is, the few times in my life I have purchased a gift in advance of December, I usually find it stowed away in a closet in March of the following year having forgotten my atypical preparedness.

I try to convince myself that the real reason I throw gifts into reused gift bags without tissue is to recycle and cut back on waste. While I do support that effort, if I’m honest, it’s not the primary driver for me.

My last-minute lists are typically written out on Christmas cards that have been designed, purchased and signed, but never sent. (“I think they moved and I don’t have a new address,” “I’ll pick up stamps on the way to work,” “Do you think it would look bad if I scratch that out and write in Happy New Year instead?”). With so many self-inflicted barriers, I need to simplify the process.

There is something really special about a gift that finds you—when you are aimlessly shopping and you see the item that you know will bring joy no matter the price. I think that is what excites me the most about our feature story. Spending time at Louisville’s open-air shopping centers that house primarily locally-owned businesses really invites that magic moment of finding the perfect gift. For starters, with just one parking spot you are given the opportunity to weave in and out of stores in search of the ideal item. Perhaps a women’s clothing boutique is where you find a fashionable tunic for mom, but the gift shop next door has the Kentucky-themed decor that your best friend who recently moved away will cherish. I could definitely find something for my husband at the home and garden store and I’ll just pop in quickly to this bakery to grab something useful for the teachers—oh look! It’s already gorgeously wrapped! Gosh, when I lay it out like that, it really does seem easy. You are guaranteed to find unique items that you will be proud to gift to anyone on your list. If it’s created by a local artist?

Bonus bingo!

This year, bounce around to some of the local treasures for your holiday shopping so you can be “that” friend—you know, the one who always gives the perfect gift.

fter Black Friday, the hunt for steals and deals is on in earnest, and anyone looking for an exceptional gift this year is in luck. Louisville’s wide variety of boutiques and restaurants are preparing for the holidays by stocking up on gifts of all kinds, many of which are crafted by artists and vendors right here in Kentucky. To find these unique creations for someone on your holiday list, start your search at one of the city’s shopping centers—filled with locally-owned businesses and a few hidden gems.

Chenoweth Square is one such shopping center, an open-air plaza lined with small businesses and perfectly situated for many shoppers. “Chenoweth Square is in the heart of St. Matthews, central to many different neighborhoods and major roadways, so it was ideal for our first location,” explains Rashna Carmicle, co-owner of fitness boutique B. YOU. “But most importantly, Chenoweth Square is the home of local boutiques, and has a unique charm.”

From ballet barre to mini trampoline to aerial silk hammocks, B.YOU offers a number of fun and unique fitness opportunities. But like many small businesses, it also stays deeply involved in the community. “We’re more than just a fitness studio—we offer community events, support local charities, host events focused on healthy cooking and nutrition, and so much more,” says co-owner Stephanie Bristow. “We’re all locally-owned businesses within Chenoweth Square, so we all support one another, offer one another partner discounts, and co-market. We also collaborate on special events like the Holiday Walk and Tent Sale.”

Both co-owners say that their Chenoweth Square starting location allowed them to get involved with the community right away.

“Many of our clients live in the surrounding areas and love the quick access; others who live further away still love the charming feel of Chenoweth Square,” Carmicle explains.

“It has always been our cozy and quaint little studio where B.YOU all began in 2012.”

Since then, the fitness studio has expanded to two other locations in Springhurst and New Albany, and is planning to expand its Chenoweth Square location as well. “It’s

Chenoweth Square is the home of local boutiques, and has a unique charm that most other shopping centers don’t have.

SHOPPING bittersweet to leave the current space, although we’re only relocating a few steps down the square,” Bristow says. The new B.YOU space will include two studios, expanded child care, showers and a kitchen with complimentary coffee and snacks as well as plenty of space for clients to lounge.

Meredith Metzmeier, co-owner of Cartwheels in Chenoweth Square, also loves operating in the shopping center. “My mom, Kathy Lintner, and I own the store together,” she explains. “Everybody is so pleased to support local businesses at Chenoweth Square.” She cites the location as part of the reason the shopping center is considered a hidden gem, despite its great collection of stores. “So many people come into our store and say, ‘How did I ever miss that this was so conveniently tucked in here?’”

Cartwheels, which features a range of stationery supplies, craft materials and small gifts, matches up well with the range of other shops in Chenoweth Square. Metzmeier recommends browsing through all of them during the holiday season: “You can park on one end and walk the sidewalks from one end to the other,” she says, “or if you need to run in and grab a quick gift, you can be in and out in five minutes. You’ve got all these great shops that are almost all locally-owned, and it’s really neat to see so many people shopping local.” Metzmeier is proud to be operating in Louisville. “I was born and raised in Louisville, and any time we travel I’m reminded of how glad I am that I live where I do,” she says. “It’s a great little big city, with the best of everything. And it’s a great place for small business owners since we’re so well-supported by our community.”

For those located further from St. Matthews, Westport Village is another favorite go-to for holiday shopping. “Westport Village is an open-air shopping center, and the majority of our shops are owned and operated by people in our community,” explains Kelly Brown, General Manager of Westport Village. “You’re not going to get any national retailers or big-box stores here; it’s intentionally meant to be more for the smaller stores.”

Locally-owned businesses abound in Westport Village, ranging from classic brunch and coffee spots to boutiques and decor stores.

Brown enjoys finding unique items, like horse-themed art and reclaimed bourbon barrel pieces, among the variety offered at 10

Westport Village. “As a shopper myself, I love the locally-inspired products and gifts here. In any shop, you’ll find items that are specific to Louisville life,” Brown says. “We’re all proud to be from here, and proud to find vendors and artists that create products inspired by our community. They’re not the cookie-cutter pieces you can order online or find at any chain. These are truly locally-inspired pieces, and there’s a lot of variety in price point too.” Shoppers can easily find steals as well as higher-end products, and the shops will often coordinate with each other for sales and events.

“Every shop you go into, you’ll find products that are real conversation starters,” Brown says. “You’ll find a little bit of everything here, items that you just normally wouldn’t come across in a typical mall setting.” She knows that a number of Westport Village’s customers are looking for unusual, authentic items, and she’s certain that the center will not disappoint. “I know we all have those family members we have a hard time shopping for, but I can guarantee you that if you come here to get a gift for anyone on your list, it won’t be a duplicate of last year’s,” Brown assures.

The community around Westport Village has grown to meet the rising demand for buying local. “It seems like Louisville is always incubating new small business ideas, from storefronts to restaurants,” Brown emphasizes.

“It’s an exciting place to take a stab at opening up your own place.” She recognizes the advantages of shopping small: “One benefit of the small shopping environment is that you’re 1 2 . 0 7 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

going to get more professional service,” Brown asserts. “When I decide to try and find a new outfit, I go to one of our shops, and the person who is helping me is often the owner. They have firsthand knowledge of what’s in their store and they’re able to say, ‘Trust me. You’re going to love this.’”

Similarly, the Vogue Center offers a locally-based, open-air shopping environment, right in the heart of St. Matthews. “We love the character of the area; it’s a very vibrant part of the city with lots of residential areas around. It’s classy without being over the top,” explains Jennifer Griffis, owner of the boutique Dandelion. “We’ve got a great mix of shops, restaurants, a salon, a place you can take cooking classes and a store with ceramics and glass. There’s a lot to do, and a lot of little places to bounce around.”

Dandelion specializes in jewelry, small gifts and home decor, so it perfectly complements a number of other stores in the Vogue Center. “I talk to a number of the owners on a regular basis, especially any time we have an event going on. And we give each other discounts for any employees that work in the Center, so we shop at each other’s stores as well. I’ve actually already done quite of bit of holiday shopping here,” Griffis says. “We do have a lot of customers from the St. Matthews area, and we frequently get people in who say they can walk over from their house.” The Vogue Center’s proximity to residential areas encourages customers to engage with their community businesses.

“I love that we get so much support from the community,” Griffis says. “We were very busy for Small Business Saturda; we regularly find people who say they try to shop local for the holidays.” Griffis also draws inspiration from her customers, carefully choosing products that will be popular among a range of different clients, as well as making sure to stock items that range in price. “Louisville has a wide variety of influences and different cultures and income levels,” Griffis says. “It’s a great mix.”

With locally-owned stores in abundance, Louisville shoppers can easily find something unique for even the toughest person on their list. Shopping centers like Chenoweth Square, Westport Village and Vogue Center are just a few places to start, and shopping small is the best way to support the local economy during the holiday season. “We have a great group of local merchants who recognize that if one of us is doing well, that’s good for the rest of us too,” explains Meredith Metzmeier. “We’re an awesome little best-kept secret of Louisville.” VT

This show is often referred to as the “Umteenth Annual Art Show.”

How did it earn that name and how long has it really been going on?

The $20 Art show was started in 2000, so this is technically the 17th $20 Art Show.

We’re not sure where the term Umteenth came from, but we love it. When we took the show over from Scott Scarboro in 2012 that tagline was already being used, and we think it speaks to the fun and playful nature of the event.

What will visitors get to experience at the show?

Visitors will receive an opportunity to buy fabulous, one-of-a-kind pieces of art from over 30 local and regional artists. This isn’t a clearance sale or a starving artist sale; it’s a celebration of creativity. It was started as a challenge to artists to create something they’re happy with and sell it for $20. If you come to the show, you’ll get to purchase some wonderful artwork, you’ll get to meet the person who created it and hopefully you’ll score the perfect gifts for friends and family as well as yourself. You’ll also get to take in the wonderful facility where the show is held, Copper & Kings. While you’re there you can taste some 1 2 . 0 7 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Which sponsors can we thank for supporting this experience?

This event would absolutely not happen without our sponsors: Copper & Kings American Brandy Company, Quills Coffee, LEO Weekly, Feast BBQ - Market St. NULU, Revelry Boutique Gallery, Yelp Louisville, Derby City Chop Shop, Reliable Rentals, Artist & Craftsman Supply Louisville, WXOX 97.1 FM and Natalie in Your Neighborhood.

Please visit them and visit them often.

Art by Damon Thompson.

Are tickets required to get into the show?

No, the show is free to attend and open to all ages. We’d also like to mention that it has gotten a reputation for having a pretty long line to get in. While that’s true, the line typically disappears within the first 45 minutes to an hour and after that you can walk right in, and there is still plenty of wonderful art available. Most of these artists have participated before and tend to space out what they have available, ensuring that there is plenty of great work to be seen no matter what time you arrive. VT

The Trinity Shamrocks celebrated their 25th state championship, sealing back-to-back undefeated seasons.

Trinity Perfect for Second Straight Season

he Trinity Shamrocks capped off a second consecutive perfect season (15-0) after upending their rivals St. X, 38-21, in the Class 6A Russell Athletic Commonwealth Gridiron Bowl. In front of 9,791 in attendance, Trinity displayed its dominance once again under the bright lights of Kroger Field in Lexington, Kentucky.

“I can’t say enough about our guys’ investment,” said Coach Bob Beatty after the victory.

“The investment of the kids, their families, our coaching staff and the investment of the school is very, very special. It’s a huge investment, but the rewards are very good.”

Coach Beatty has won 13 state championships overall, but this is the first time he has had back-to-back undefeated seasons. Trinity now has 25 state titles in the program’s history.

“This group right here may be one of the most coachable groups we have had and they listened to us and they got better. To persevere through our season and to do what we did and to go undefeated against national teams and then take care of business in Kentucky, it is a great way to finish,” he added.

It was a game in which St. X wanted to redeem itself from a regular season shutout at the hands of Trinity at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium, but it would be Trinity widening the gap between the two programs cherished rivalry, improving their win streak to seven straight over the Tigers.

“Give Trinity credit, they have a nice ball club to say the least,” said St. X coach Will Wolford after the game. “They have one of the best teams in the nation and they proved that today. Our kids also proved that they have a lot of heart, mind and guts.”

It was a bit surprising to see Trinity down early, but it grabbed their attention quickly.

“That’s a part of it,” said Rondale Moore after the game. “We had to regroup, get everything straight and we came back out and were firing on all cylinders.”

On Trinity’s next possession, the Shamrocks did just that. After a Nick Bohn to Nick Strothman 48-yard touchdown was wiped away because of a holding penalty; on the very next play Bohn would hook up with Rondale Moore for a 62-yard touchdown, tying the game at 7-7.

On the Tigers’ next drive, Albers would be intercepted by Jacob Dingle. This time the Shamrocks would take advantage of the turnover. Rondale Moore was given the ball on a rush attempt, and the speedy “catch-me-if-youcan” receiver made a couple jukes, displaying his elusive ability and speed as defenders tried catching him to prevent the 93-yard touchdown run.

It was just the spark Trinity needed to shake off a slow start. That run put the Rocks up 14-7.

“I just saw the hole, made my cut, used my speed and I went to the end zone,” Moore said of the 93-yard run.

St. X would answer though. After a couple of punts from both teams, the Tigers closed out the first quarter with Jack Albers passing to Ben Mueller for a 35-yard touchdown score, tying the game at 14-14.

In the second quarter, Trinity extended their lead to 21-14 when Bohn found a wide open Nick Strothman for 36 yards. That’s when the Shamrocks’ offense began to look like an unstoppable freight train that started to steam roll the Tigers. They would score again, making the score 28-14 after a Rondale Moore 3-yard touchdown run.

St. X showed signs of life though in the third

quarter. Looking refreshed and rejuvenated, Jack Albers led the Tigers within 14 points, after a 13-yard touchdown run, making the score 35-21. In the entire second half, the Tigers fought with heart and with class, but it wasn’t enough to make the desired comeback.

“We lost that momentum right there at the half and we talked about that at halftime, that you have to play a full game,” Beatty added.

“That’s the way the game is, I knew it wasn’t going to be a shutout this time, but we persevered through it and played very well.”

Senior quarterback Nick Bohn ended his senior season breaking Tim Couch’s state record for completion percentage (75.1) set at Leslie County. Bohn finished the year completing 79.7 percent of his passes (290 of 364), which is a national high school record. In the game, he threw for 286 yards and three touchdowns and was elated after claiming his second straight championship.

“At Trinity, we expect this and this is the best feeling.” When asked what it meant to get a championship against his rival, he said, “Regardless, a ring is a ring, and I am going to love it no matter who we play. But to come in here against them, obviously it is awesome to get the win.” VT

Ben Mueller pulled in a catch and continued his run for a touchdown.

1. SHOULD I EAT BEFORE A WORKOUT? Old school: Exercising on an empty stomach will burn more fat.

New rule: Have a 150-calorie jump-start meal an hour or two before your workout.

Ever force yourself through a workout even though you were starving simply because you thought you would burn off those stored fats?

Next time, eat up. The latest research found that exercisers who ate breakfast before treadmilling for 36 minutes had a significantly higher fat-burning rate for as long as 24 hours compared with those who ate post-workout, even though both groups consumed the same number of calories during the day. Plus, a recent report concluded that when you start off with a grumbly tummy, there’s no fat-burn advantage. You won’t be able to go as intensely or burn as many calories, and you’ll also lose more muscle.

2. WHAT ARE THE BEST RUNNING SNEAKERS FOR A FIT INDIVIDUAL? Jeff Howard H E A LT H

Santa Tell Me...

We asked the Big Guy to answer some of our most burning workout questions Story by Jeff Howard Photos by Jillian King

Old school: Get a sneaker that offers the most stability.

New rule: Less is more.

The shift toward minimalist footwear in the past few years has biomechanical experts rethinking what makes a good athletic shoe.

Like everyone else, I used to believe that the more motion control and cushioning a shoe had, the better. But such training efforts can encourage runners to strike with their heel first before pushing off the forefoot—a motion that creates a lot more impact on the joints. In contrast, less built-up, minimalist sneakers encourage a natural mid-to-forefoot strike, which creates a softer landing.

Today you’ll see minimalist styles by just about every sneaker brand. That said, you shouldn’t become a convert overnight. A study found that among runners who switched to a minimalist foot-like shoe design, those who continued to strike with their heels (as if they were in a traditionally cushioned running shoe) significantly increased the loading forces on their lower legs. So work on your forefoot strike before swapping in minimalist shoes.

3. WHEN SHOULD I DO AB EXERCISES? Old school: Save toning your abs for last.

New rule: Engage your core throughout your workout.

Cranking out crunches after a workout is so last year. The core’s biggest job is to provide a solid foundation for your extremities to work off of, so about 70 percent of your core training should be geared to strengthening the abdominals and lower back as stabilizers.

That means doing more exercises that require you to stiffen your core as you work against 20

resistance. For instance, try to keep your body from rotating as you pull a resistance band or weights. Exercises that strengthen the abdominal walls not only improve performance but also help reduce injuries. To fill that remaining 30 percent of ab time, alternate in a few moves, like cable wood chops or medicine ball rotational throws, that work your core in a more integrated manner rather then just doing traditional crunches.

4. HOW MANY REST DAYS DO YOU NEED?

Old school: Wait 48 hours to recover after a strength workout.

New rule: If you’ve gone hard, you may need an extra day.

You’ve heard it plenty of times: take at least a full day off between strength workouts to allow your muscles to rebuild and get stronger. But if you’ve taken a sculpting class that’s left you shaking, press “pause” a little longer, even up to 72 hours. If you start working those same muscles too soon, you could be compromising your results and even risking injury. That’s because after your workout, your muscles have to work hard to rebuild those torn-down tissues. Intensity is definitely more important than frequency. On those offdays, let cardio—for instance, power walking, running, swimming or cycling—serve as an active recovery, so you can burn fat while allowing your muscles to rebuild.

5. HOW ACTIVE SHOULD I BE? Old school: Working out is king when it comes to staying trim.

New rule: Your whole day comes into play.

We’re not going to argue against the benefits of regular exercise and watching what you eat, but more and more experts say that you need to consider what you’re doing for the rest of the 16 waking hours a day when you’re not at the gym. We realize now that it’s your total daily energy expenditure, not just how many calories you burn during exercise, that will make a difference in your bottom line.

The more you move, the more you burn. So add some bursts of activity like going to the restroom on a different floor, taking a walk at lunchtime, or standing up while talking on the phone.

6. HOW DO I DO A PUSH-UP? Old school: Do a modified, on-your-knees push-up if you can’t manage the full one.

New rule: Modify the angle, not the pose.

Always stuck doing “girl” push-ups? You’ll get better results if you take the knees off the floor. Doing a full push-up, even one that’s on an angle that makes the movement easier, 1 2 . 0 7 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

LIFE

is a lot more effective than trying to power through a set on your knees. That’s because the point of a push-up, is to work through a full range of motion with power and speed.

You just can’t do that on your knees. As an alternative, place your hands on a low bench or countertop and focus on keeping your body straight. Gradually work your way toward an angle that’s lower to the floor.

7. HOW DO I DO A LUNGE? Old school: Keep your front knee over your toes with each lunge.

New rule: Focus instead on staying tall.

You’ve probably also heard the same “Don’t let your knee move past your toes” warning for lunges, but there’s really no magic point at which your knee reaches perfect form. The theory is that the more forward you go, the greater the sheer force on the knee, but there’s often a trade-off, because you might be putting more stress on the hip and spine if you stop the movement short, especially if you have long legs. Instead, focus on maintaining an upright position—ears, shoulders and hips in alignment—and try to sit back into the lunge rather than worrying about where your knees go.

1 2 . 0 7 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

8. HOW DO I DO A SIT UP? Old school: Don’t bother with a full sit-up.

New rule: Full-range moves hit ab muscles that your crunches may be missing.

We nixed full sit-ups for crunches long ago, thinking that once you get past a certain height, you’re working your hip flexors more than your abs. But lately we are trying to aim higher. In a Pilates move like the roll-up (lying faceup on the floor, peel your torso off slowly until you’re sitting upright, then reach for your toes), you’re moving with control while rolling up through the spine as if it’s a large wheel, so the axis point keeps changing. The key difference is that because your knees are kept straight and your spine is curving, the hip flexors don’t help nearly as much, allowing a greater percentage of ab muscle fibers to be recruited.

9. HOW CAN I MODIFY MY SQUAT? Old school: Don’t bend your knees past 90 degrees.

New rule: It’s OK to go over.

If you’ve sampled the barre workout protocol, you know that your butt brushes the floor during endless squat variations. Why is it suddenly cool to get way down? There has been a debate among experts, but the con-

sensus seems to be that it is a natural human movement. We have found that if you do a squat and force yourself to keep your knees behind your toes, as in a 90-degree bend, you increase the stress on your hips by more than 1,000 percent. But if you allow your knees to come forward, you have only a bit more stress on your knees—just 20 percent or so—and significantly less pressure on the hip joint.

10. DO I NEED A WORKOUT BUDDY? Old school: Buddy up for the best results.

New rule: Sometimes it’s better to go solo.

There’s a long-held understanding that having an exercise partner will improve your fitness level because you’re more likely to show up when there’s someone waiting for you. But we found that, depending on your partner, you may actually exercise harder when you sweat it out alone. But the key may be finding the right partner! While having a more fit pal can help push you, sticking with someone whose focus doesn’t mesh with yours can ultimately compromise your workout. Your workout partner has to be similar enough in style for the situation to be a win-win.

Yours truly, Jeff 21

“C

lip, clip here; clip, clip there.”

Sure, that’s how to give a “certain air of savoir faire in the merry old land of Oz,” but it seems achieving the perfect beard can be way more complicated than that in the city of the Ville. Kentucky Opera set out to see who could trim, sculpt and style the best beard in town and ultimately be named the Best Barber in the Ville.

If you are wondering when Kentucky Opera got in the business of beards and barbers, it’s not as far of a stretch as you may think. The concept for The Barber of the Ville was imagined in concert with the upcoming show of their season “The Barber of Seville” which will play at Brown Theatre on Friday, February 16 and Sunday, February 18. When tickets went on sale November 27, the clippers started clipping at Beards and Beers on South 5th Street while four barbers and five contestants competed in a beard styling competition.

Judge Sara Havens confessed, “I didn’t know this much went into shaving beards!”

Jacob Paul and Catherine Gray.

As for what she was looking for in a winner, The Bar Belle cited creativity as the most important element. She was joined by Josh Johnson of The Kentucky Gent to select the winning entry.

Many of the participating barbers brought plenty of creativity to the process sharing tips on how one can achieve the perfect beard.

Barber Mike Hack started cutting hair when he was 16 and said he always gravitated toward short, funkier styles so he ended up specializing in men’s cuts. As for how to pull off a cool beard? He has a mantra: “When in doubt, grow it out.” He says to condition every day but only shampoo every three days so as not to remove all the essential oils.

Barber Adam McCubbin agrees, but adds what is removed can always be added back.

“You definitely want to use beard oil or beard balm to shape it,” McCubbin explains. “It gives volume and cleans and hydrates the skin underneath.”

In the end, it was Melissa Gray who was deemed the winner of the competition and named Best Barber of the Ville. Gray, a

third-generation barber says her inspiration comes from what she has to work with. “I want to make someone look the best they can look,” she says. “Someone can bring in a picture of a healthy long beard, but if they have a scraggly beard, that’s not going to look best on them.”

Gray also concurs that many men over wash their beards leaving the skin underneath dry. She shares, “The key is conditioning every day. Most people don’t realize that conditioner is for the skin, not just the hair. You really want

to work that in to keep from itching.”

Even General Director of Kentucky Opera Ian Derrer got in on the fun, stating “durability” as his favorite criteria for the winning look. “It’s my first time adjudicating a shave,” he laughed, “but I’m impressed.”

The Hub’s Carrot Cake Fizz and The Basic Birch

S

hopping for gifts and planning for holiday events can often make this time of year more stressful than enjoyable. So what better way to unwind than with a seasonal drink that will warm your body and mind? These five spots will have just the ticket for those days when you feel more like the Grinch than Buddy the Elf.

T

he Hub doesn’t disappoint when it comes to delightful drinks with clever names (see last winter’s Spruce Springsteen). Off of this year’s seasonal drink menu I recommend the Basic Birch, which features gin, pine liqueur, birch syrup, fresh lime, rosemary and sparkling wine. This cocktail has all the flavors of winter delivered in a sparkling and refreshing package.

I also recommend the Carrot Cake Fizz, a delectable mix of Copper & Kings unaged apple brandy and Aquafaba, a vegan egg white substitute, topped with spiced carrot syrup. This one had a heavier feel to it, but it wasn’t too sweet or too filling.

T

he cocktail menu at La Chasse is sensibly broken down by category, ranging from Sparkling to Savory and everything in between, and if you’re still in the mood for fall flavors, they have you covered. Owner and bar manager Isaac Fox tells me the Maple Old Fashioned is a very popular choice, but the hidden gem on the menu is the Bourbon Bloody Mary. While it may sound odd, he guarantees this drink made with bacon-infused Cooper’s Craft Bourbon is nothing short of terrific. His personal favorite is the King’s Sidecar, made with Copper & King’s America Brandy, St. George Spiced Pear Liqueur, fresh lemon and Angostura Bitters.

T

his spot is known for their vast list of handcrafted cocktails, and for the holiday season they’re adding hot buttered rum and special eggnog to the menu. They’re also doing an on-going promotion called #100Days100Cocktails, in which their daily featured drink is 10 percent off (follow them on Instagram to get the daily scoop @redherringlou). Ordering one of these daily drinks also enters you to win a VIP Experience with Heaven Hill and Evan Williams, and the drawing will take place at their New Year’s Eve Bash starting at 6 p.m.

Actors Theatre Welcomes a New Scrooge John Preston Takes the Reins in this Year’s “A Christmas Carol”

By Remy Sisk

“A CHRISTMAS CAROL” Through December 23 Actors Theatre of Louisville actorstheatre.org 26

S

tepping into Charles Dickens’ timeless tale of understanding the meaning of Christmas is nothing new for John Preston. The actor is currently starring in Actors Theatre’s production of “A Christmas Carol” as Scrooge, an opportunity that is the culmination of several years of hard work on versions of the show across multiple cities. In Louisville, he played the Narrator in the show in 2014 and 2015, but his history with the show begins long before then.

“I cut my teeth on it as a young man playing small roles and then playing Fred for a number of years,” Preston says of his involvement in “A Christmas Carol,” primarily at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival where he was an actor for 15 years.

“And then for a number of years, I played variations of narrators, and then I did other productions where I played narrators and that’s how I ended up in this production, eventually playing Scrooge. So I’ve basically grown up doing some version of this play since I was about 20.”

Taking on the role of Scrooge after having been involved in the show for so long has, of course, a touch of intimidation.

However, Preston was not only up for the challenge but also exceptionally grateful and excited to be the next in line of a long tradition of extraordinary actors performing this iconic role. “It’s really wonderful because there is this long tradition,” he says. “I’ve watched a lot of men play Scrooge over the years as I’ve played some of the other roles.

There’s a wonderful actor named Philip Pleasants who played Scrooge at Alabama 1 2 . 0 7 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

LIFE

Shakes for years and years, and in the tradition of theatre, I’ve pulled little bits from his performance. They’re my own now because I can’t really do what he did, but the tradition of the Scrooges sort of carries on as productions go on and actors phase out of the role and another actor takes over.”

Actors Theatre’s production, which is perhaps one of Louisville’s most revered annual theatre traditions, certainly has several differences from other productions, but Preston maintains that at its heart is the same story that generations across the globe have fallen in love with for years. “You get to see someone transform in this story—you get to see someone go from a curmudgeon and beyond hope to turning around and having hope to live a longer and happier life,” Preston emphasizes. “It’s a beautiful, timeless story that has become a tradition in our country to see and to take your family to.”

As audiences file into and out of the Pamela Brown Auditorium at Actors to see Preston as Scrooge in this year’s iteration, the actor hopes that people are genuinely impacted by the story and are able to refocus on what’s really important during this time of year. “You always hope that people leave the theatre affected by the story and by the transformation of Scrooge into someone who is giving and will help people,” he affirms. “We all want to have that feeling at Christmastime. It’s so hard in our culture to find that even now because it’s so monetarily based, but I think people want to think about that side of Christmas, about giving and giving to people in need.” VT 1 2 . 0 7 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

Stars and Promises Brings Christmas Magic

By Remy Sisk

our years ago, I lost my husband to cancer,” recounts Charlene Kelly, “and I just didn’t even want Christmas to come—it was just the furthest thing from my mind. And my son who lives in Virginia called me and said, ‘Mom, pack a bag for one night—we’re going somewhere.’” Their destination, though unknown to Kelly, was Hopkinsville, Kentucky, where Peter Mayer was playing one of the shows on his annual Stars and Promises tour. Now, four years later, Kelly is bringing the show to Louisville, the show that, as she says, “brought Christmas back.”

Peter Mayer is a vocalist, guitarist and longtime member of Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band who spends each December visiting different small venues across the country playing holiday concerts that raise money for local charities. After seeing the show four years ago, Kelly followed Mayer and made sure to catch a Stars and Promises stop wherever she could. But this year, when she heard there was a chance Mayer would come to Louisville, she and her family decided to ensure the show made a stop in Derby City and consequently assumed all the coordination of the show themselves.

It puts you in the Christmas spirit and now I want to share that with as many people as I can. And in the long run, it will make a contribution to three important charities around town and do some good for them.

— Charlene Kelly Kelly and the team have admittedly learned a lot along the way, but thanks to multiple local supporters, the process has them poised for success. St. Margaret Mary has donated their sanctuary as the venue, and Lamkin Wealth Management and Builders Exchange of Kentucky have signed on as major sponsors.

The show will take place on December 14, and Kelly is eagerly anticipating bringing this extraordinary show to the community.

“It puts you in the Christmas spirit and now I want to share that with as many people as I can,” she exudes. “And in the long run, it will make a contribution to three important charities around town and do some good for them.” Indeed, proceeds from the show will benefit Gilda’s Club Louisville, which Kelly describes as her lifeline during her husband’s cancer journey; St. John Center for Homeless Men, where her son and husband used to frequently volunteer together; and Ovarian Awareness of Kentucky.

“All three of these organizations help people at the worst times of their lives,” Kelly emphasizes.

“They’re three really great charities that are going to get all the proceeds from the ticket sales. So we just want to make sure people know about it!” The show itself, with the theme this year of “When You Come Home,” will showcase a collection of timeless carols, original songs and stories, all in celebration of the Christmas season and the way it brings people together.

“It will certainly enrich your Christmas season,” Kelly says of the show. “All the songs are not specifically religious—they’re just caring.

It’s caring music.” Stars and Promises is sure to be an unforgettable holiday experience—one that not only emphasizes the meaning of the season but also supports local organizations that are working to make the community better all year round.

HOMES

Comfortably at Home with Provocative, Livable Art

By Nancy Miller Photos by Jolea Brown

I think art gives a house a soul.

— Susan Moremen 32

S

usan Moremen lives the way she works—surrounded by art. “I like to think my home is warm and inviting and generous. It looks like me and it shows off contemporary art.”

Her three-bay, two-story Georgian home, one block from Cherokee Park is, in many ways, an extension of Moremen Moloney Contemporary Gallery, which she owns with partner Susan Moloney.

“I don’t think anyone ever walks into a house and says, ‘Oh, what a great sofa.’ But that’s how they feel when they see art. If you have a party and not everyone knows each other, art that goes beyond matching the sofa changes and elevates the conversation. In my home and in the gallery is art that’s provocative but livable; it’s art you want to see every day,” she says.

She is just as zealous about her neighborhood, having “lived forever within a hop, skip and a jump” from her current home “except for a brief interlude living in 40207.” Being within walking distance of some of Louisville’s top restaurants is an undeniable draw, as is the conviviality of neighbors she sees every morning on her three-mile walk.

Each room in her home is filled with art, and each piece has a connection to her she cherishes. “I think art gives a house a soul, which doesn’t minimize good design. Susan Moloney provided that for the house,” says Moremen. When she isn’t at the gallery, she works from home, which allows her plenty of quality time with Cooper, her English Spaniel. “There’s no room in which I don’t really live. I read and entertain in the living room,

watch television in the sunroom, work in the study, and I love my bedroom.”

The intimate study, secluded by large trees on the side of the house, was formerly a dining room. A wall of bookcases is testament to her being a voracious reader. It’s with obvious pleasure that she relates the history of each painting, each sculpture. A painting by Mary Tatum, an artist of the Hans Hofmann School of Fine Arts in New York, was purchased by Moremen’s husband in Spain before they were married. Of particular significance to her are pieces by artists at StudioWorks, a studio for people with and without disabilities.

Art is the star in the living room where furniture is meant to be moved around and walked through to reach another seating area or to view paintings or sculptures. Two ninefoot tall canvases by Carlos Gamez Francisco are focal points in the room as is an abstract painting by her late husband, John Moremen. “Some art collectors have said it is their favorite painting in the house. He would be so pleased,” she says.

Placed on a secretary he bought for her one year for Christmas is a small terra cotta sculpture they found at an art gallery in Paris.

In front of the secretary is an African tribal throne carved from a single piece of wood.

Also in the living room is a Tom Pfannenstiel collage of cut wood.

“The living room is comfortable and flexible and not terribly formal. If I have one person over, we may have a drink there, but it’s also where 25 or 30 people can gather,” says Moremen. She recently entertained 30 people for dinner following an opening at her gallery.

LIFE

Entertaining with ease is her style and she doesn’t pretend she labors for hours in the kitchen. On that menu were a salad, lasagna from Lotsa Pasta and Steel City Pops. Costco is one of her go-to stops for party (or anytime) dishes. “Their chicken pot pie is to die for.

And Cooper and I love their chicken noodle soup,” she says. “My oven hasn’t worked properly for years, so I have to choose my menus carefully.”

That doesn’t mean her kitchen isn’t used or appreciated. “It’s nice and homey, with its green cabinets, gray Formica countertops and painted sideboard. When I say maybe I should redo it, people tell me I shouldn’t. So far, I haven’t,” she adds.

Guests at small dinner parties sit at an antique round table in the dining room. Next to it is a Sheraton sideboard on which are placed two lamps made from architectural fragments. Above the French console in the corner are three Indonesian puppet heads. On the wall, a Michael Madzo collage is striking for its colored threads sewn into the work.

sunroom prompts a second look, then a third before one realizes it’s a sculpture made from driftwood and trash, all found at the Falls of the Ohio. Her eye for unusual objets d’art led her to discover in a junk store an architectural model of a house that now sits on the coffee table in the sunroom.

No space in her home is without art. An ethnographic fetish shirt, crafted of animal skins and wood, hangs in the hall and fulfills her hope of art being provocative.

“It’s easy to mix genres of art as long as you love the art and have a place for it. There should be something in a piece that asks ‘Why?’ and ‘What is this?’ Sometimes there’s never an answer. Anyone buying art needs to be careful. It may be easy to be taken with a seascape while you’re looking at it during a trip to Maine, but when you get it home, it may not work. Or, you can get attached to a Bohemian, tropical landscape in Key West or Western art in Colorado, but they may not translate to your home. Most of all, look at something and know you will love it for years,” she says. VT 33

Betty Ann Pennington Broecker at 104 years of age.

Birthdays and Broadway

O

n December 6, 2013, Elizabeth Ann Pennington Broecker celebrated her 100th birthday and all were thrilled. When asked what the secret of her longevity was, she famously was quoted as saying she credits it all to the “Three Bs.” Bacon, which she likes each day at breakfast; Bridge which she fanatically plays with great skill; and Bourbon which she has been known to sip on the rocks with some regularity.

On December 6, 2017, my husband’s Aunt Betty Ann celebrated her 104th birthday with great pride. As you might expect when you reach this age you tend to slow down a bit. And while she lost her husband, Leonard Broecker more than fifty years ago, her “kids” Penn Broecker and his wife Patrecia; and Liza Lee Broecker Ulferts and her husband Glen, give her a great deal of support. I think that means they keep the bacon and bourbon flowing.

She currently calls Atria St. Matthews, 120 S. Hubbards Lane, 40207 home for the moment, and loves cards and letters from friends.

PNC BROADWAY SERIES CELEBRATES CHRISTMAS The PNC Broadway Series has been presenting Broadway at the Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts ever since it opened. That adds up to thousands of performances of hundreds of shows. In all that time it has never had a Christmas themed holiday show until now. Last week “Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas!

The Musical” played to more than 22,000 people in ten performances.

In the spirit of helping the community the series had a promotion when the Grinch tickets went on sale to the general public.

The Christmas in July promotion raised over $5,600 for Norton Children’s Hospital. The Louisville Theatrical Association which presents the Broadway Series used some of its funds to have some students from Lincoln Elementary and the Boys and Girls Club see the show.

In addition to charming all who saw the show, an enormous Christmas wreath decorated with some of the characters from the show was in the lobby as a photo

op spot for all who wanted to have a photographic memory of themself at the show.

COLORADO SPRINGS’ GAIN Louisville is losing a medical treasure. Dr. Wayne Gibson and his gorgeous wife, Stephanie, have decided to pick up and move his medical practice and their home to Colorado Springs.

Dr. Gibson is a spectacularly talented cardiologist specializing in diagnosing problems of the heart. No, he doesn’t give advice to the lovelorn. He was recruited to Louisville from the Mayo Clinic and they were really sorry to see him go. Once when a local lady of a certain age placed a call to Mayo’s to request an appointment to be seen there for her heart, the famous Clinic asked why she wanted to come there when one of the world’s best cardiological diagnosticians was in Louisville.

Known for his quiet approach and charming “islands” accent, he can calm even the most nervous patient. It doesn’t hurt that he is tall and handsome as well.

Stephanie was born in Michigan and grew up in Louisiana and is loved by all.

We shall miss them.

LES DAMES DO COOKIES Les Dames d’Escoffier, a woman’s organization that services the food and hospitality industry had its third annual cookie bake sale last week at Ramsi’s On the World on Bardstown Road. All of the members made every kind of cookie imaginable. Some were decorated sugar cookies, others were drop cookies and even a few cakes and pies sneaked in. The purpose of the sale is to raise money to fund scholarships to train future chefs and others who want a culinary career. Most of the scholarships in Louisville are to Sullivan University on Bardstown Road.

The last two years the event has been held at Copper & Kings in Butchertown where both years, even in colder weather, the outdoor event was a sell-out. The new location this year, held in the outdoor courtyard of Ramsi’s, enjoyed sunny weather and drew great crowds throughout the event. Some really wonderful and imaginative cookies were there along with some cakes and a pie or two. VT

“There’s nothing else like Green District Salads here in Louisville; it’s so fast and fresh.

— Jordan Doepke

Fast L Food Can be Healthy Food PROFILE

By Graham Pilotte

50

ooking for a healthy spot to refuel over the winter? New local salad shop Green District Salads is a newcomer to the Louisville food scene, but it’s quickly gaining popularity. Instead of a last-minute side salad, Green District Salads is carefully crafting delicious chopped salads and wraps that the whole family can enjoy.

“This location just opened June 7,” owner Jordan Doepke explains, of their St. Matthews branch. “It’s been a real whirlwind.

There are four total partners, and we all kind of took different roles. We knew we wanted to grow this business.” But even after just a few months in business, it’s clear that their startup is marked for success. Healthy eaters can pick from a range of pre-made menu options, or can create their own unique dish, one ingredient at a time. “All the partners have families, wives and kids, so we’re all rooted here in Louisville,” Doepke says. “Our kids love this; they think it’s so cool. And they’ve even been eating salads.”

“It’s a winning concept, and these guys are outstanding,” explains General Manager Jonathan Clark. “There’s nothing else like Green District Salads here in Louisville; it’s so fast and fresh. We’ve had a really warm welcome to the neighborhood.” The simple concept is one that has been missing in the Louisville market, and the neighborhood has taken notice.

Green District Salads has, notably, taken over the space left behind by the vacated Chop Shop. Clark and a few other employees have made the transition along with the space.

“We have a really great team right now,” Clark says. “We do our best to separate our former concept from who we are now, learning lessons as we go, but we love having our regular customers back.”

Many of these regulars are equally delighted to have their favorite salad spot back as well. “Our repeat customers are our bread and butter,” Clark asserts. “Sometimes they even come for lunch and then again for dinner on their way home!” He cites the city’s culture as one possible impetus. “If you go to a park in Louisville, it’s usually packed,” he says. “People are trying to lead active, healthy lifestyles.”

Doepke is in agreement, adding that Green District Salads wants everyone to be able to take part in the company’s vision. “We want to be a premier lifestyle brand,” he says.

“Think of Green District Salads as a healthy spot where you can take the whole family.” All their ingredients are fresh—even the meats, like steak, chicken and shrimp, are cooked with Old Bay seasoning and citrus juice rather than oil. Additionally, their paper products are BPH-free and recycled, and all produce is GMO-free.

With its unique product, happy team and loyal customer base, Green District Salads is a rapidly expanding Louisville favorite that’s here to stay. Locals are encouraged to come check it out, and try great food in a casual, friendly atmosphere. “It’s about healthy living,” Doepke summarizes, “and we want everyone to come. Everybody is accepted here.” VT 1 2 . 0 7 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

JEFFERSON COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT CLERK DAVID NICHOLSON TAKES OFFICE AS NEW PRESIDENT OF KACO Jefferson County Circuit Court Clerk David L. Nicholson was inaugurated as the new Executive Board President for the Kentucky Association of Counties (KACo) on November 9. Nicholson is the first KACo president from Jefferson County and the first Circuit Court Clerk to hold the position.

“It is an honor and privilege to serve as the next president of KACo,” Nicholson said. “I am thrilled to have the opportunity to lead this terrific organization that is dedicated to serving all 120 counties of the great Commonwealth of Kentucky. Having served in various leadership positions throughout my career, I value consensus-building and believe in excellence through collaboration.

I strongly support cross-agency collaboration, the sharing of our resources and innovative approaches such as publicprivate partnerships.”

The inauguration took place at a banquet at the Galt House in Louisville as part of the annual KACo Conference and Exposition.

Nicholson is the 43rd president of KACo. David Nicholson, a lifelong resident of Louisville, was elected Jefferson County Circuit Court Clerk in 2006 and re-elected to a second term in 2012. Nicholson has played a major role at KACo for several years, most recently serving as KACo’s 1st Vice President. Nicholson is also a member of the Board of Directors of the National Association of Counties (NACo) and serves as the subcommittee Vice-Chair of Courts and Corrections on NACo’s Justice and Public Safety Committee.

KACo is a service organization, based in Frankfort, whose members include elected county officials in Kentucky. Since its creation in 1974, KACo has represented the needs of county government providing the highest quality programs and services to counties, such as insurance, financing services and legislative solutions.

POE COMPANIES, WHITE LODGING AND REI PLAN TO BRING LUXURY, PLAYFULNESS TO DOWNTOWN LOUISVILLE WITH A NEW DUAL-BRANDED HOTEL DEVELOPMENT IN THE HEART OF HISTORIC WHISKEY ROW Two new yet distinctly different hotels will open in 2019 in the historic and revitalized Whiskey Row neighborhood of downtown Louisville as part of a new development planned by a staple of the Louisville hospitality industry.

Located on Main Street, the development will feature two Marriott International branded properties—Hotel Distil, a boutique hotel that will be part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection Hotels, and a Moxy Hotel, the enterprise’s spirited and fun design-driven brand with more than 15 hotels in North America, Europe and Asia.

The project, developed by White Lodging, Poe Companies and REI Real Estate Services, is also due to contain multiple bars and restaurants. The hotels will be managed by White Lodging, their 13th and

1 2 . 0 7 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

KACO President David Nicholson.

14th hotels in the Louisville market.

“With his vision and passion for Louisville, Steve Poe continues to reshape the downtown market and we are thrilled to participate in what we believe will be a game-changing hotel development for Whiskey Row,” said Deno Yiankes, president and CEO of development at White Lodging.

“From the Kentucky Derby to NCAA sporting events, the upcoming PGA championship and Bourbonism, tourists are pouring into Louisville. The addition of two unique, innovative hotels to historic Whiskey Row will give our visitors an authentic experience that will keep them coming back to our city for years to come.” said Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer.

“I applaud Poe Companies, White Lodging and REI Real Estate for bringing two new hotel brands to Louisville.”

Hotel Distil, an independent hotel affiliated with Autograph Collection Hotels, taps into the street’s rich bourbon history.

The 205-room property joins the diverse and dynamic portfolio of more than 100 Autograph Collection Hotels around the world—all independent, one-of-a-kind hotels that champion values of vision, design and craft. It will feature more than 7,500 square feet of elegant meeting space, a new energized restaurant concept and rooftop bar with direct access to the street.

The Moxy hotel will feature a street-level restaurant and bar along with an additional rooftop terrace and event space.

The original façade that still stands from circa 1860s will be the front of the Distil Hotel and the signature restaurant. The façade and site are remnants of a rich and storied history that still has significance today and perfectly embodies Autograph Collection Hotels’ “Exactly Like Nothing Else” mantra. The site was the original location and barrel house for J.T.S. Brown and Sons, whose name is still above the doorway. John Thompson Street Brown was the half-brother of George Garvin Brown, whose partnership began the company that is known today as The Brown- Forman Corporation.

“We are delighted to see this historic site reimagined for our guests,” said Brian Povinelli, Senior Vice President and Global Brand Leader, Autograph Collection Hotels. “With its storied history, Hotel Distil champions Autograph Collection Hotels’ brand values of vision, design and craft.”

The planned development marks the debut for the experiential Moxy Hotel in Louisville, boldly reinventing the lifestyle hotel experience in the Derby City.

Moxy Louisville will be thoughtfully designed with the target audience in mind – engaging, smart and free-spirited.

Opening in the city known for its famous horse races, foodie mentality and Southern charm, Moxy Louisville will welcome guests with locally inspired contemporary design, industrial chic style and a playful social scene. Moxy Louisville’s 110 bedrooms will be cozy and tech savvy with plush platform beds, peg walls instead of closets for ultimate flexibility, motion sensor lighting, and all the right tech for in-room entertainment including 49-inch LED TVs, abundant power and USB outlets, along with furiously fast and free Wi-Fi for ultimate connectivity.

“Moxy is specifically designed for a new generation of travelers – we call them Fun Hunters – who are looking for a hotel environment that allows them to have an experience on their terms,” said Vicki Poulous, Senior Global Brand Director, Moxy Hotels. “Moxy Louisville will give guests everything they want and nothing they don’t.”

“Forward-thinking, fun-loving travelers to Louisville are going to love the Distil and Moxy hotels,” said Chris Anderson, Chief Revenue Officer at White Lodging. “We are proud to introduce both of these new brands to Whiskey Row. They are distinctly different and will offer something unique that Louisville has never seen before.”

BENSEL, DAVID PATRICK David Patrick Bensel, 58, of Louisville, returned to his Heavenly Father on Sunday, November 26, 2017. Dave is preceded in death by his parents, Marjorie and Paul Bensel, and brother Mike Bensel (Holly). He leaves to cherish his memory his siblings: Pete Bensel (Betty), Kathy Bensel, Mitch Bensel and Joanie Medert (Terry); his angels on earth, Pam and Norb Frank, and a host of other family and friends.

Dave was a special person of great inner strength and character who made a lasting impression on all who came to know him. He loved to sing Elvis songs and show off his version of Michael Jackson’s “moonwalk.” He would always tell people when they were leaving, “Don’t get hurt.” Whenever he heard of hardship or sickness, he

would pray for those affected. His sense of humor and laughter will also be missed.

Visitation was held on Saturday, December 2 at Arch L. Heady at Resthaven, 4400 Bardstown Rd., followed by a prayer service at the funeral home.

LOOK!

pets of the week Meet Layla! Layla is a five-year-old tabby cat that originally came to the Kentucky Humane Society from a local shelter and returned to us from Bardstown, Kentucky. Layla is done moving around and is ready to find her forever home before the holidays. Because Layla came to us from another shelter, we do not know much about her previous home. Our staff have noticed that she isn’t a big fan of other cats, but seems to do fine around dogs. She is incredibly sweet and would make a great lap cat and companion. Would you like to see if Layla is a good match for you?

Layla is spayed, micro-chipped and up-to-date on her vaccines. Come meet Layla today at the Preston Feeders Supply, 5763 Preston Highway. For more on Layla or any of our adoptable pets, please call 502-366-3355 or visit kyhumane.org.

Five-year-old Victor is a beautiful Shepherd mix who came from the Kentucky Humane Society from a shelter in Florida before the storm hit. He’s on the lookout for a family where he can feel loved, safe and secure. Victor is not a fan of other dogs and cats and does have a tendency to jump a fence, so we’re looking for a family with a privacy fence and an interest in keeping only one pet. All this moving around and fear from the evacuation has made Victor a little wary of kiddos, and we would recommend a household with children 12 years old and older. Victor needs love, reassurance and training to be the best dog he can be. Could you help him in his quest? He’s neutered, micro-chipped and up-to-date on his vaccinations. Meet Victor today at the Hikes Point Feeders Supply, 3079 Breckenridge Lane. For more on Victor or any of our adoptable pets, please call 502-366-3355 or visit kyhumane.org.
