What there is to know about Kentucky?

[Doggie]

...and more precisely Salyersville, Ky? My girlfriends sister is leaving the old continent to spend a year as a exchange student there.

She asked me what I could tell her about Kentucky, and to my great ashame, all that came to my mind was KFC and Louisville slugger...

If you can tell me anything, I would be a happy camper. Trivia, intresting places to visit, news etc.

They build Corvettes there (Bowling Green)

The Kentucky Derby (a fairly well-known horse race in Louisville)

Daniel Boone, early (18th century) Kentucky pioneer

Oh yeah! Bourbon!

Have a look at their tourism site.
