When we arrived we discovered that the show had sold out, so we had to climb over more people to get to our seats in the middle of the row, but they were still good seats. Our friends had never before seen the show, it had been decades since Hubby or I had last seen it, and we all enjoyed the experience. The singers wear microphones and are heard over the sound system, a change from when Hubby was in the cast. Some of the dialogue is also different from decades ago, but the changes do not distract from the purpose of featuring of Foster's music. After the show we had an unexpected surprise of an Independence Day weekend fireworks display! The fireworks were beautiful and we enjoyed them too!

Grinchmas is an annual Christmas event that takes place in a church in Shepherdsville Kentucky…read morecalled Journey. The church transforms there building into the grinches lair, whoville and other Christmas holiday favorites. This is a free event that the congregation of this church does a few weekends of the holiday season. You go to there website and reserve a time Frame and date along with your party size for virtual tickets. You line up at your time and walk through this amazing doctorated and creative holiday wonderland. Like the people who designed this have to be engineers or something it is so creative and fun. It's like walking through a movie set. Each section offers something different. It is mainly grinch themed and as you go room to room it legit has the grinch story book. page by page on each wall. At the beginning they have a scavenger hunt game with other hidden Christmas gems. Like for instance one of the air vents had a picture of Bruce Willis character John McClain from die hard in homage to the famed vent scene. Also spread throughout each room was cool meet and greet opportunities with not only the grinch Himself, but buddy the elf, Cindy lou who, the whole whoville villagers, Jack skeleton and finally at the end Santa and his workshop. The characters here were so good at what they did. I'm not sure if they are hired actors or if this congregation has some phenomenal talented members. But everybody played there role brilliantly. The grinch, buddy the elf and the whoville people especially. One of my favorite things that Happened and what will be a for sure long time Christmas memories is my 7 year old daughter who will absolutely only talk to me, her grandpas and one of her uncles when it comes to men walked in the room with buddy the elf. Buddy the elf excitedly "hi little girl". My 7 year old daughter disappears behind my oldest daughters backside. Buddy slowly and cautiously in hilarious will Ferrell like fashion creeps to her looking for a fist bump. My 7 year old is having no part and is backing away and buddy the elf said what you would expect the movie version to say "little girl I just wanna spread holiday cheers for the whole world to share". So we all got a kick out of that and it's just an example of how in character these volunteers were. They really made it seem so legit with the character acting. As mentioned towards the end you hit Santa workshop for a picture with Santa. They also have some decorations and a fake snow blower for kids to play in. They have a stand with complimentary hot chocolates too. Several tables setup for you to sit and relax for a drink before departing. At the end there were some donation jars. There was nobody there forcing or demanding you donate. There was not anyone trying to promote or recruit you to there parish (which I honestly was expecting for a church event). Just a fun, free and creative event for the whole family to enjoy. Overall This was amazing. Me and the family may have a new favorite local holiday tradition. The folks here put on an amazing, fun and memorable event. I'll tell everyone I know To try and visit grinchmas next holiday season. Great job to the folks at journey church for doing as buddy elf would say "spreading holiday cheers for the whole world to share".

It has a fair amount of the old favorites (Asteroids, Tron, Donkey Kong) and some newer ones (Area 51 Maximum Force.) There is a line of pinball machines, with some EMs, and some solid state games. The prices are quite reasonable. Candy is available at the counter. What is good about admission is it is good for the day, so you can pay, go get lunch, and come back later if you choose. The majority of the games were working, but as you can expect with (gulp!) 40 to 50 year old games (Asteroids - Copyright 1980 Atari! - 45 years old!), they can and do break down.

For all those that have not been to this Festival, I have to question your planning when you visit…read moreLouisville, but that is for another day. I was only there one day, but you can experience a lot in 10 hours. I had the best time of my life at the festival. It's located in a small town called Bardstown, but those of us Bourbon enthusiasts, we know it as the Bourbon capital of Kentucky. It is your typical festival style setup with white canopy tends lined up with both food, beverage and unique collectibles offered by local artists. They set up carnival food trailers on one end where you can enjoy all your typical carnival foods from burgers to hot dogs, BBQ, fried everything and of course can't forget the sugar confections of the ice cream trucks. I caution you to walk through this area without wanting to indulge in everything they offer. Adjacent to them was the main stage where local musicians entertained the crowds at all hours throughout the four day festival. Just because it says Bourbon in the name doesn't mean that is all that is offered as there were beer tents and may have been some wine options as well, but I did not head over to that area. I believe I even saw an entire field of bouncy houses for the kids. I decided to experience the festival from the VIP loft. Location on the third floor of a building containing bourbon history, I enjoyed the luxuries of their lounge, food at any given time and a private bar that would mix up your favorite bourbon style drinks (included in your ticket costs). The great part is you can spend time in the loft, head back down to the festival, enjoy the other festivities and the distilleries onsite offering specialty drinks using their bourbon (you do have to pay for these drinks and there was a ticket booth where you could purchase drink tickets). After an hour or so, I would head back upstairs and enjoy more food, drinks, relaxation along with the A/C and our own private bathroom. I kept going back and forth for the 10 hour duration of the festival that day. This is a must stop for any Bourbon enthusiast as it provides an opportunity to mingle with locals, out of state visitors, festival volunteers, local distilleries and you get to enjoy drinking bourbon while having food and listening to music. What is there not to love?

Road to Bethlehem- a drive thru experience is a unique and vastly different annual holiday event…read moreheld at the bullitt county fairgrounds off the clermont exit. This is more of a religious event. This free event has You pull in with your vehicle and drive up to individual stations where they have people dressed up and they act out parts of Jesus Christ journey from birth to his death. The place features cool set designs and costumes. There are multiple drive up stations and at each station the actors deliver there lines and interact with the patrons of the vehicle and usually wish you a merry Christmas on the way to the next station. The event is only held one weekend of the holiday season and props to the actors as it has to be cold as it all done outside in the weather elements during a 6pm-8pm night time frame. Also there are several cars that come through and they have to repeat there lines for each individual car. Our favorite part was probably the part where they give you two "gold coins" at the beginning and warn you of Roman guards who block your path to Bethlehem and urge you to use the gold coins for safe passage. The actors and our kids had a lot of fun with that part. Being that this is an individual per car live play experience this Does take some time to go through. We arrived right at 6pm to a line that back up just to the entrance of the fairgrounds and it took 90 min to go through. So be patient. It's a long wait but when you factor in what this is it's very understandable. Plus it's a free event. So hopefully people don't harp on the long waits and appreciates the volunteers. Another important note or disclaimer to consider is while yes this is a holiday event, It is very much a religious event only. So if one was just looking for lights and Santa clauses they would not enjoy this. This whole production is strictly the story of Jesus. So if you aren't religious or if you just don't particularly like religious shows or history then this will not be for you. Overall very unique and different holiday event. I could see some of the younger kids may get bored or frustrated. My kids enjoyed it and appreciated what it took for the workers to make this free event happen. Is this something I'll comeback to every year? Probably not unless they switched up the show. But it's probably worth revisiting every few years. Once again I can't give enough props to the several volunteers who bare the cold and stretch there vocal cords on the weekend this event takes place.
