Kentucky is Good!
It tastes good, smells good, and looks good! Now it gets better!
Membership Invitation and Offer
Are you a Kentuckian? You may be one and not know it? That is, are you a Kentucky Colonel, Commonwealth Ambassador, Son or Daughter of a Kentuckian, Environmental Hero, or an Honorary Admiral living in or from another country?
You might be a goodwill ambassador, a city mayor or global citizen living in another country who loves Kentucky's culture, natural landscape or historic origins and forgotten past? Or you may be a visitor who fell in love with Kentucky's folklore, history and traditions? But if not, and or for any other reason, you might just be a real Kentuckian, born and raised in Kentucky which makes you an original, just like the Colonel’s famous recipe!
