What Does This Historically Low Mortgage Rate Mean for You?

Terri Bass, winner of Best Realtor in 2019 Bestie Awards.

I

n an attempt to steady the market rocked by the coronavirus, the Federal Reserve dropped interest rates again. Mortgage rates are lower than they’ve been in 50 years. I was quoted 3% for a 30 year and 2.625% on a 15 year fixed rate mortgage, but these can change daily. These low rates offer opportunities for all segments of the real estate market.

Financial Planning Options for All Homeowners If you have a mortgage at 4%+, you may want to consider refinancing to lower your monthly cost or shorten the term of your loan with very little increase in your mortgage payment. Tommy Thomas, vice president at First Financial Bank has been seeing a great number of homeowners refinancing and moving from a 30 year mortgage to a 15 year mortgage, desiring to be debt free in these unstable times.

“When refinancing, borrowers need to realize what their breakeven point is on the monthly savings per month, plus the cost to refinance. If they hit that breakeven point in the first two years, it usually makes sense to refinance,” stated Thomas. It’s also a good time to consider a home equity loan if you have expensive credit card debt or a home renovation project you would like to do. If you decide to look into either option, be sure to shop with several lenders just like you would for any major purchase. Some lenders will keep higher rates or have greater closing costs so that they don’t overload their system, or just because they can. Others will be looking to acquire a greater share of the market and will be more competitive.

Sellers Should Take Action The rate drop is good news for sellers. It should encourage buyers to get off the fence and purchase that home they’ve been considering, knowing these mortgage rates won’t last.

Realtor.com predicts the rates will rise as the coronavirus slows down in late spring or early summer. Sellers who have had their home on the market and have not sold it in the past 90 days may want to get more aggressive with their pricing to attract buyers while rates are so favorable and inventory is low. If you are planning to sell your home, you will want to get it on the market as soon as possible to take advantage of the lack of inventory and low interest rates.

Priced right, your home should sell.

Black Friday Sale for Buyers Money to buy a home is cheap! Buyers have a great opportunity to possibly buy a little more house because of the lower rates, but it comes with challenges. The inventory is low, making it a competitive market for homes that are new to the market and priced well. Having an experienced Realtor who knows how to navigate multiple offers and a pre-approval from your lender will help you in your quest for the right home.

Letter from the Publisher “This is not about going back. This is about life being ahead of you and you run at it! Because you never know how far you can run unless you run.”

–Penny Chenery Owner of 1973 Triple Crown winner Secretariat

T

his quote from Penny Chenery reminds us that we don’t know what we’re capable of until we try. In the days before we sent this issue to print, the COVID-19 outbreak began to take its toll on Louisville. Major gatherings were canceled or postponed, including the Kentucky Derby and the Kentucky Derby Festival’s many events. Bars and restaurants were forced to close, and the local businesses we have come to rely on had to shut their doors.

At this time, we urge you to help support Louisville’s local businesses by contributing in any way that you can, via online donations, gift card purchases, maintaining any subscriptions you currently have that are financially feasible and continuing to support our local publications that strive to deliver current and enlightening content for the greater good of our community.

Thankfully, The Voice is here for you as we have been the past 70 years and will continue to publish the magazine you all enjoy.

If you are unable to pick up a physical copy of The Voice for the foreseeable future, the online version and website are always available to you at voice-tribune.com, where we will continue to post up-to-date information, photos and content that you have come to know, love and depend on.

Because we can all use some distraction, our team is happy to deliver the April issue – full of stories from inspiring locals. Two such individuals are Steve Wilson and Laura Lee Brown, who are preservationists at heart and you can learn more about that in our feature on Barn 8 Restaurant at Hermitage Farm. They definitely know how to take on a project and find out how far they can run with it. Creative, classic and innovative, this dynamic duo understands art and the importance of great design. Working closely with Bittners design group was an essential part of the visual success of this new culinary treasure that will be a destination you have to check out soon!

In this issue, you’ll find a preview of the Frazier History Museum’s upcoming exhibition “What is a Vote Worth? Suffrage Then and Now.” In the Occasions section, you’ll find our exclusive coverage of Wine Women & Shoes benefiting Family Scholar House and the Speed Art Museum Ball. And Down Syndrome of Louisville, a profoundly important cause, shared information about their organization and its long-term goals.

As we navigate the coming months, we want you to continue reaching out to us for coverage – let us cover your (future) events, promote your businesses and give us the opportunity to tell your stories. After all, it is your voice we want to hear.

Celebrating Suffrage A look at the upcoming ‘What is a Vote Worth?

Suffrage Then and Now’ exhibition at the Frazier History Museum

is a year earmarked for celebration. A century ago, the long fight for womens’ rights culminated in the landmark passage of the 19th Amendment. The movers, shakers and paraders who had put their hearts into the suffrage movement secured for generations to come the power of the vote that we enjoy today. Forty-five years later, the Voting Rights Act was passed and these freedoms were secured for everyone. But, how did this change happen? And, does voting really matter? These are the questions that the folks at the Frazier History Museum were pondering in late 2017.

Penny Peavler was the CEO of the museum when the staff and board began to talk about the significance of these dual anniversaries. In order to explore how we got here and why voting matters, Peavler and Cissy Musselman – a fellow proponent of women’s rights – pulled together a team of Louisville’s own women’s history experts and trailblazers.

Former councilwoman Cheri Bryant Hamilton signed on immediately. Working in politics has given her a distinct awareness of just how powerful the vote really is, and furthermore, “I’ve always believed that your vote is your voice,” she says. “Nothing is more powerful for each individual than your vote.”

Hamilton, Peavler and Musselman were joined by women’s history expert Eugenia Potter, Judge Denise Clayton, Marsha Weinstein and Tina Ward Pugh, who helped engage over 100 different partner organizations. Thanks to their efforts, 2020 will be a year full of opportunities to reflect on the power of the vote and inspire the community to engage with this power.

“There’s not one person or organization or company that’s said no to anything we’ve asked for,” Musselman says. “They know that the 19th Amendment was important for their wives, their mothers, their sisters.”

Kicking off the commemoration, “What is a Vote Worth? Suffrage Then And Now” opens this spring at the Frazier History Museum, where visitors will have the chance to walk through time. “The exhibition begins with life before suffrage and talks about what life was like for women, about the rights that they had or didn’t have,” Peavler says. A story of the women who marched, spoke and ultimately voted their way towards change is tangible in a collection of objects. One of particular significance is a copy of the “Woman’s Bible” on loan from the Elizabeth Cady Stanton Trust Collection and a pair of boots worn by local suffragette Evelyn Glass.

Amanda Briede, who is curating the exhibit, says, “Visitors can also look forward to seeing some examples of the evolution of women’s fashion while the fight for women’s suffrage was taking place. We will feature historic dresses and undergarments to demonstrate how the growing freedom of women was reflected in the fashion of the time.”

The exhibition will also highlight some lesser-known stories of Kentucky’s own

suffragists. “One of the things that I’m really excited about regarding this exhibit is the ability to share the stories of some hidden figures of the women’s movement,” Peavler says, “and particularly to share the stories of some influential African American women that you may not have heard of, such as Dr. Mary Briton.”

The first female and African American doctor in Lexington, Briton has an exceptional story. Hers is only one among many others that will be told at the Frazier. For Hamilton, it’s essential to honor women like Briton. “It’s important to share these stories,” she says. “Never forget on whose shoulders we stand: the many women who opened the door or broke it down.”

Outside of the museum, you will find many other opportunities to be a part of the city-wide celebration. “Every month, something will be going on around this theme,” Musselman says. The commemoration is sponsored by Wells Fargo and involves community partners and institutions including the Louisville Metro

“We’re all working together to move the needle forward toward increasing voter participation,” Peavler explains. “We expect that by shining a light on the value of the vote, we will not only uplift women and their stories but all people.” V A full calendar of Louisville’s suffrage and voting rights activities can be found at fraziermuseum.org/ womenvoteevents.

“

What’s in a Theory?

Exploring the Paradoxes of Theory Confirmation Think about hypotheses involving astrology. What would count as falsifying the claims of astrology?”

— Steve Humphrey

By STEVE HUMPHREY Illustration by ANDREA HUTCHINSON

S

cientists create theories to describe, explain and make predictions about the physical world. But it is not easy to verify that the theories are true. In fact, it has been generally accepted that it is impossible to verify a theory. The best we can do is confirm it to some degree. Why is this?

I’m sorry, but this will involve logic.

The general structure of testing is this: we use a hypothesis (theory) to generate predictions about future observations. For example, if I am investigating the effectiveness of some new cancer drug, I start with the hypothesis that it will be effective in treating a certain kind of cancer. On the basis of this, I make a prediction that if I give it to a patient with that kind of cancer, the patient will get better. That is, if the hypothesis is true, then the prediction will be true.

Now, suppose our prediction comes out true, and this particular patient

improves. Can we conclude that the hypothesis is true just because it was used to make a correct prediction? No. The argument “If the hypothesis is true, then the prediction will be true, the prediction does turn out true, therefore the hypothesis is true” is an invalid argument. It has the same form as “If my pet Olivia is a dog, then Olivia is a mammal. Olivia is a mammal. Therefore, she is a dog.” But my baby is a cat, so the premises are true and the conclusion false, making it invalid. Now, if we make many predictions based upon that hypothesis, and many of them result in positive outcomes, then we say we have confirmed the hypothesis to some degree.

This is why drug trials go on so long and involve so many patients. We need enough confirmatory data to raise our confidence in our hypothesis. This is an inductive argument.

But, of course, it is more complicated than this. The famous philosopher of science Karl Popper argued that the test of whether some hypothesis would qualify as a scientific

hypothesis is whether it is falsifiable.

That is, is there some outcome that would conclusively imply the falsity of the hypothesis? (Think about hypotheses involving astrology. What would count as falsifying the claims of astrology?) And if the argument went as simply as the following, “If the hypothesis is true, then the prediction will turn out true, the prediction is false, therefore the hypothesis is false,” then it would be clearly falsified. It would have the same form as “If my pet Olivia is a dog, then she is loyal and loving, always at my side. She is sweet, but she is not always at my side. Therefore, she is not a dog.” This is a valid deductive argument, called modus tollens.

But predictions are not made simply on the basis of some hypothesis.

There are other facts that must be used to generate the prediction. For example, in the case of the drug trial, I have to factor in the doses given, the different stages of the disease the patients are in, the ages and general health of the patients, whether they smoke, etc.

So, even if one of the patients fails to improve under treatment, it may not be the fault of the drug. The failure may be attributable to other factors.

And there is always a plethora of other factors to take into account. Again, this is why drug trials go on so long and involve so many patients.

Next time, I will be discussing probability. V

“There are about 1,000 individuals in the Kentuckiana area who have Down syndrome. We service 18 counties in Kentucky and Indiana, and we also offer support to smaller Down syndrome organizations in the rural areas around us. At our campus, we serve about 100 people each day. Our Lifelong Learning Center is the only one of its kind in the world, and people have moved across the country to utilize our services.

“We begin serving members as soon as you get the diagnosis all the way through the entire lifespan of someone with Down syndrome,” Volz adds. “Our youngest member hasn’t been born yet, and our oldest member we serve on a regular basis is 62 years old.”

Renaissance Legendary Hermitage Farm’s rebirth

By LAURA ROSS Photos by ANDREA HUTCHINSON Hair and Makeup: ALEXIS APANEWICZ and CHRISTY SOWDER, NOVA SALON

E

ven on a rainy day, Hermitage Farm is stunning. Soft mists roll over the gentle hills, like ghostly remembrances of Thoroughbreds past roaming the fields. History is found in every corner. The stately manor house. The distinctive red and black barns that dot the landscape. The lush banks of trees, decades-old, that hold the tales of nearly two centuries of storied farm life.

There is a hush about, and the raindrops patter about like the tick-tock of a clock, waiting for the next hour’s chime to sound.

That hush will evaporate soon. Listen closely, and you can hear the sounds bubbling up from within.

Hermitage Farm is alive – and ready to embark on its next journey as it opens Barn 8 restaurant and offers a destination for tours, events, culinary experiences and more.

“Kentucky is so well known for both our heritage and the beauty of our landscape,” said Steve Wilson, who along with his wife, Laura Lee Brown, purchased Hermitage Farm a decade ago. “The farm has a history worthy of preservation. We wanted to keep these 683 acres a working farm and Thoroughbred operation, and open other parts to the public to enjoy as a green space with tours, food, art and bourbon.”

Originally a land grant to General Mercer, Hermitage Farm, anchored by a pre-Civil War era mansion that is on the National Register of Historic Places, has been an active farm for nearly 150 years.

Owned from 1936 by legendary Thoroughbred breeder Warner Jones Jr., Hermitage Farm produced winners of the Kentucky Derby, Kentucky Oaks, Breeders’ Cup and many other stakes races. Even Queen Elizabeth II once paid a visit to Hermitage to review its breeding and training operations. In 2010, Wilson and Brown saved Hermitage Farm from suburban development and placed it in an agricultural conservation easement, which will protect the land in perpetuity.

It might seem odd for the founders of the urban-focused, wildly modern and popular 21c Museum 54

THE VOICE OF LOUISVILLE

Barn8_JCL.indd 54

Hotel enterprise to have an equal passion for preserving pristine, generations-old farmland, but Wilson says not so fast. Both he and Brown were born and raised on Kentucky farms. “It wasn’t evident to us then, but the farms were a part of us,” Wilson explained. “When Laura Lee’s parents died and their farm, Sutherland, was sold, it was subdivided. It was a dagger in the heart.”

The couple watched as other area farms were swallowed up by rapid suburban development and decided preservation was key. Another golf course or upscale development with 500 houses crammed together on postage-stamp lots was not the answer.

The couple saved Woodland Farm in Oldham County from development and made it their primary residence. Hermitage Farm was next on their list, followed by others.

With a nod to popular agro-tourism destinations in Europe, Wilson, Brown and their team spent a decade devising a plan. The main house and surrounding land has been a popular wedding and event destination for years, but the team took it further and is opening the rest of the farm to include multiple equine and farm tours, bourbon tasting events, a visitors’ center and shop and the flagship restaurant, Barn 8. They continue to maintain the Thoroughbred nursery with continuing success.

Barn 8 rests a short walk from the main house and is spearheaded by Executive Chef Alison Settle, who joined Hermitage Farm from Red Hog restaurant.

The former horse barn’s renovation and décor was a collaborative effort between Wilson and Brown, architect Haviland Argo and Douglas Riddle of Bittners.

Featuring reclaimed wood, private nook dining inside former horse stalls, custom design and a unique and breathtaking event space, Barn 8 sets the bar high for a memorable dining experience. Barn 8 and Settle will also be the exclusive caterer for events at Hermitage.

“For a chef, this is Disneyland,” said Settle. “You can’t ask for more than to have a focus on conservation of agriculture and local food sourcing, to having a horticulturalist and an enormous greenhouse at our disposal. It’s a dream come true.”

Barn 8 sources food from Hermitage Farm gardens, a state-ofthe-art, computerized greenhouse built specifically for Hermitage and other local and regional farm operations. Bison and other meats come from neighboring farms.

The restaurant features southern-inspired cuisine but mixes worldwide culinary influences. “We showcase what our farmers do very well, and we prepare it in an inventive way that best showcases the food,” explained Settle. “We might make a southern greens dish, like momma did, but I’ll reimagine it into a Korean kimchi stew with pork and mushrooms.

“In a traditional restaurant, you order the amount of food you need from the food purveyor,” added Settle. “With the farm, we might harvest 50 pounds of beets at once, so we’ll need to figure out how to use them. We can serve some, sell some in the store, reduce the beets and put them in a cocktail, smoke them and put them in a smoked beet aioli, pickle them – the options are endless. We work with what comes from the land at any given time.”

A Kentucky fine-dining experience wouldn’t be complete without bourbon, and Barn 8’s expansive bar will feature more than 100 bourbons and other spirits. Vintage bourbons and “medicinal pints” dating from before Prohibition will also be available for sale and select-pour events. “It occurred to me to add bourbon tastings to the mix,” said Wilson, “since bourbon is truly an agricultural product, coming from grain. We don’t have a distillery on-site, but we do raise and harvest grains that are used in bourbon production.”

The rise of Kentucky’s Bourbon Trail has cultivated an entirely new level of tourism. Wilson likens Hermitage’s bourbon tastings and products to a “sushi menu.” “Here, you can choose from whatever brand you want, and you’ll learn from the experience and maybe find the bourbon you enjoy the most. I’m an Old Forester drinker, but as I’ve branched out, I’m surprised at the interesting, spicy, sweet flavors in different bourbons.”

Wilson and Brown, in their worldwide travels, always keep an eye out for “Ah-ha” moments. A visit to an Amsterdam park with a garden-based restaurant, along with other locations worldwide, dropped bits of inspiration into Wilson’s creative design mind.

“I wanted authenticity (with Barn 8),” said Wilson. “There are other farm restaurants in America that I thought they tried so hard with a theme, but then it became an artificial effort. We provide authenticity in this space.”

Wilson encourages guests to come early, tour the grounds, visit the greenhouse, see the Thoroughbred operation and competition horse training in action, stop in the lounge of Barn 8 for drinks and then indulge in the local fare with a twist that Settle and her culinary team produce year-round.

“Enjoying your meal is paramount,” said Settle, “but learning a bit about sustainable environmental practices is important also. We want guests to understand what organic and sustainable means. Look outside and see greens actually growing. Try a bison schnitzel that uses local livestock and ingredients from area farms.

Whether they’re coming in here for a special event or just a solo dinner at the bar, I just want them to be wowed by what we offer.”

Settle has the unique ability to work with a full-time horticultural director, Stephanie Tittle, in carefully planting and planning the produce grown at Hermitage that will be used to continually reinvent the seasonal menu. Tittle creates magic in the aromatic, 4,000 square-foot greenhouse, cultivating produce, vegetables, herbs, flowers and more. Dozens of planted gardens cascade through the farmland under her wise eye and green thumb as well.

“It’s the thunder and the mist,” said Tittle. “I show off the growing process, and Alison and her team create the incredible enjoyment of the dishes. We don’t just pull things from shelves in a grocery. We grow it from the land.”

Barn 8’s design, imagined and executed by Bittners, features reclaimed wood from historic barns and fallen trees at Hermitage and a comfortable, elegant design that is at once intimate and farm-fresh. The unique concept in the restaurant, lounge, bar and the upper hayloft event space utilizes Wilson and Brown’s art collection and is dotted with intriguing and custom-crafted furniture and lighting.“The mirror in the lounge once belonged to Tommy Hilfiger, and the German Black Forest bench in the vestibule was owned by Olivia Newton-John,” said Wilson. “We like the witty, sexy paintings on the walls by Tracy Stuckey, which are from our collection.”

Leather saddle blankets in one of the dining stalls were used in the TV series “Zorro,” and Ralph Lauren draperies and wing

chairs are a focal point of the comfortable lounge, which also features contemporary leather sofas that mix with antique tables and storage chests, many of which were purchased in New Orleans.

Bittners designed and custom-built several dining tables and other pieces within Barn 8.

“Steve likes to keep the design as local and organic to the farm as possible,” said Douglas Riddle, president and COO of Bittners.

“Douglas and I daydreamed about this together,” said Wilson. “Douglas is our guiding light, but I like to throw my heart into it, too.”

Up the bourbon-barrel lined staircase is the hayloft event space, which is a popular wedding and corporate/private event locale seating about 220 guests. The soaring, beamed ceiling holds a stunning, custom-crafted chandelier made in Italy of Murano glass.

The whimsical, bent arms of the chandelier “weep” with joy, said Wilson. The construction workers who hung it called it the Dr. Seuss chandelier. Large windows overlook the back of Hermitage Farm. It’s a photograph waiting to happen.

“Steve continues to inspire me with his creative genius year after year,” said Riddle. “His vision is always ahead of its time, motivating us all to go the extra distance.”

Steve Wilson and Laura Lee Brown could easily step away from the day-to-day business of creating an agro-tourism destination.

But, they don’t. They relish the art of creating something new.

“Laura Lee and I love Kentucky,” said Wilson. “There’s this adage about legendary Kentucky hospitality, and there’s a satisfaction to knowing that you’re influencing people in a positive way. I hope they leave here with a love affair of not only all things Kentucky but of the land also.”

The sun breaks through the clouds and illuminates the pristine farmland. As he walks past the greenhouse and surveys the cascading levels of garden plots just showing the first buds of garlic, herbs and other produce, Wilson mused, “I think this is our legacy project. Hermitage Farm is a place where we can combine our passions for the land, sustainable farming, the environment and art.

“We are caretakers,” he added. “We’re only here for a short while, compared to the history of this farm or even of Kentucky, so Laura Lee and I want to do our part to make sure it lives on for the next generation.” V

A Passion for Design Bittners’ Ron Wolz discusses artistic inspiration and giving back

I

By LIZ BINGHAM Photos by ROBERT BURGE

nside the desirable neighborhood of Cherokee Gardens is the most recent project from renowned Bittners designer Ron Wolz. The home is located just minutes from the park and is furnished with textiles and elements sourced from all over the world. Ron gave us an inside look at his design process and offered a bit of advice for aspiring designers and homeowners.

“

Every room was designed with the thought that it needs to be used and enjoyed.”

— Ron Wolz

Wolz has been designing for 27 years and joined the Bittners team in 2007. He became an interior designer via an indirect route by way of business school, but he eventually realized that interior design was what he truly loved. “What I thought my career would be and what it ended up being were totally different,” Wolz said. “But it’s been so rewarding, and I’m so grateful that I found my path and have always been naturally blessed to do this easily. To find a new career that you’re great at and passionate about is such a huge reward.”

When approaching the task of designing this beautiful Cherokee Gardens home, Wolz first met with the client to fully grasp the architecture and how to best design it in a way that was both aesthetically pleasing and functional. Wolz said, “Every room was designed with the thought that it needs to be used and enjoyed. We tried to create spaces in every room that function for both the homeowner and her family. It looks designed and chic while also being very livable and comfortable.”

In this home, Wolz noticed the strong bones and found the architecture was his inspiration. “I wanted to accentuate what already existed while being respectful of the classic architecture, but I didn’t want it to feel stale or old fashioned,” he said.

“My task was, how do we curate

and mix this so we create something vibrant and dynamic and interesting but still very classic and timeless?” Wolz created his desired effect by bringing together elements from multiple eras, countries and styles.

He said, “I like a room that feels curated, not cookie-cutter.” This is evident in his combination of several exceptional items: a 19th-century European Biedermeier cabinet, Africaninspired Ralph Lauren chairs, a hand-beaded chandelier, a more modern tie-dye pillow sham and mid-century modern elements.

With spring on the way and many looking to refresh their space, we asked Wolz for suggestions for both homeowners and aspiring designers on how to get started. Wolz suggests, “Think outside of the box. Step away from your room and look at it like an outsider.” He added that one way to achieve this is to rethink your traditional art selection and choose something more unexpected. For this home, Wolz selected a set of multimedia polaroids by local artist Letitia Quesenberry. “They’re more about telling a story and making you look at the image and wondering what the story is about,” he explained. “It really draws the onlooker in and sets the tone of the room.”

For Wolz, another way to change a room from ordinary to extraordinary is by finding the right lighting. He suggests removing recessed lights and investing in lamps and chandeliers that you truly love. “Getting soft light on your face makes everyone feel better about how they look and feel in the space, and it changes the mood for the better,” he affirmed.

Lastly, Wolz encourages aspiring designers to be both passionate in what they do and in their community, but understand that it is a journey. “For the first seven years or so, I was in the fabric room taking care of resources, folding fabrics, very unglamorous things,” he recalled. “But over time, I’ve built a following and a career, and it doesn’t happen overnight.”

Wolz found his following through volunteer work, where he could give back and meet people who would be willing to support him as a designer. “There are people I’ve met almost 30 years ago on charitable committees that I still know and do work for and now their children as well,” he said. “It’s a great way to expand your network while also giving back to the community.”

Wolz is already working on his next big design project, but when asked about the details he remarked, “You’ll just have to wait and see!” V

ooking for a unique and engaging summer program that will create a lasting impact on your student? Imagine a city where young consumers rush to the bank to deposit their paychecks, sales clerks create displays and reporters interview local business leaders to get the most up to date story.

This perfectly describes a day in JA BizTown Summer Camp.

An extension of our popular fifth grade program, JA BizTown Summer Camp is a dynamic, hands-on learning simulation for kids ages 9-12. JA BizTown resembles an actual town with a bank, radio station, newspaper, city hall and other businesses. By working in one of 16 JA BizTown shops, kids learn what it takes to run a successful business, manage a debit card and checking account and work as a team. Kids have daily lessons, hands on activities and games.

From day one, campers begin by taking a look at what is important in a community. They identify leadership positions and pick a position they are interested in holding. In the afternoon, campers explore jobs around JA BizTown and participate in interviews. From there, campers will invent, create and explore the worlds of entrepreneurship and citizenship throughout the week. This exciting summer program is a fun way to examine global markets and the inner workings of our society, while sharpening skills in math, communications, teamwork, business ideas, and personal finance.

The camp engages students in business, entrepreneurship, and financial planning with state-of-the art experiential learning!

The Parklands of Floyds Fork

T

he Parklands of Floyds Fork is Louisville’s newest park system, offering a variety of amenities for families and individuals to get active while connecting with nature. This donor-supported public park is open 365 days a year and is FREE of charge.

Play and splash at the playground and sprayground!

Playgrounds are open yearround in Beckley Creek Park and Broad Run Park. Both locations feature accessible playgrounds with adjacent areas

for toddlers and older kids ages 6-12. Weather permitting, sprayground water turns on in early May. Hike, walk or run on a paved or natural surface trail. Difficulty ranges from easy and fully-accessible options like the Louisville Loop to more difficult, natural surface trail options throughout all four parks.

Ride at the Silo Center Bike Park. This seasonal amenity opens in late spring once trails have thawed and dried out.

The bike park offers flow trails, pump tracks and a skills loop

where both new and experienced riders of all ages can practice and improve.

Paddle or fish along scenic Floyds Fork. Spring is a great time to embark on a river adventure via canoe, kayak or paddleboard. Those looking to relax can drop a line to catch a catfish or trout stocked by the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife. William F. Miles Lakes in Beckley Creek Park and Boulder Pond in Turkey Run Park are occasionally stocked and feature ADA accessible fishing piers.

Celebrate your next event at one of the park’s scenic venues.

The Parklands offers a variety of facilities to accommodate indoor and outdoor events of all sizes, including weddings, receptions, reunions, business meetings, birthdays and more!

Learn about the wonders of the natural world during an educational program led by an interpretive ranger.

Knowledgeable staff host a variety of programs, giving visitors of all ages the opportunity to get active and learn through hands-on, outdoor activities.

A NEARLY 4,000-ACRE VISITOR-SUPPORTED PUBLIC PARK The Parklands of Floyds Fork does not receive tax dollar support for annual operations, which is why community support is essential to preserving this extraordinary public space for future generations. This support has been paramount as we work as a community to prevent the spread of COVID-19 Coronavirus. With nearly 4,000 acres to explore, you can reap the rewards of the outdoors at The Parklands while practicing social distancing. We encourage everyone to prioritize their well-being in the coming weeks with a daily dose of outdoor recreation. Our four parks and The Strand offer trails of varying lengths, level-of-difficulty and surface so that visitors of all abilities can get out and explore. Additionally, while in-person programs are suspended at this time, The Parklands education team has developed virtual learning opportunities for kids and people of all ages. For the latest updates and educational resources, please visit www.theparklands.org.

STORYTIME IN THE STORYBOOK FOREST (NEW IN 2020!)

Get lost in a story with us every Thursday at 2:30 p.m. in the enchanting Storybook Forest in Beckley Creek Park. In this family-style program, children and their parent or guardian will take a short hike on the Osage Orange trail to the Storybook Forest where they will settle in for a book read by one of our interpretive rangers. The sounds and smells of the forest will help our stories come to life!
