FRANKFORT, Ky. — For the first time since being elected, Governor Andy Beshar says he'll be at Churchill Downs on Kentucky Derby Day. He's pushing people to help him reach his goal so next year there'll be no pandemic restrictions.
“I will be at Derby in-person and I will hand out the trophy,” Gov. Beshear said. You could almost see his smile through the mask. Governor Beshear spent Monday morning unveiling other signs that some things are getting back to normal. Artwork created for the most Kentucky of traditions was celebrated. The Derby Festival Queen and her Court graced the closed Capitol event.
