    The Sanctuary is AMAZING!!! I absolutely love this place! I learn new things about the wildlife every time I go. Paul is my favorite tour guide - he truly loves these animals and has devoted his life to caring for them - but we had Monroe for our guide yesterday. Wow. Paul has some serious competition for best tour guide now. She is very knowledgeable about all of the species there in addition to knowing their animals well. You can tell how much she also cares about the animals. We weren't able to see all of their animals yesterday due to the heat. Our guide, Monroe, apologized several times, explaining that the animals don't always leave their cooler areas to come out to greet visitors when it gets hot out. We fully understood, but it left the impression that many other guests do not, which is a little heartbreaking. Despite the late morning high temperatures, we were able to see several of the animals and learn more about their habitat areas. Red Wolf Sanctuary offers tours year-round, so if your schedule permits, late fall or early spring would be the ideal time to visit. But that said, I've never not had a great visit there, even in the colder weather. I highly recommend going!

    We attended the red wolf rampage as a family- I like it that this place host fundraising events that helps keep the sanctuary operating. The event seemed well organized, even have shuttle bus to transport the participants from the casino to the event place. The organizers had a tour after the race which we will are looking forward to.

    OMGosh, I'm ecstatic over this cheese!! I was visiting Lexington last weekend and was so excited…read moreto find a street fair happening near my hotel on Saturday morning. One of the booths was Boone Creek Creamery. Since I love cheese, I had to indulge and buy myself some! I love hot and spicy, so two of the flavors I got were "Sassy" (Sharp Cheddar with peppercorn and red pepper) and "Habanero" (Sharp White Cheddar with Habanero Peppers). Sassy was unexpectedly wonderful. Rather than hitting the tongue with heat, the heat was more in the back of the mouth and throat and lingered. No too much, but not too little either. Delicious. The Habanero on the other hand, exploded with heat from the initial bite. This one didn't hold back, it was full-on HOT! Way too often things that advertise Habanero try to be delicate... this cheese was not delicate in any way. It was HAWT!! And I'm a huge fan!! My third block is Blueberry White Cheddar. I haven't had any of it yet, but I have no doubt it will be epic! This was such a pleasant unexpected find. If you are in Lexington and like cheese... check them out. You won't be disappointed!!

    Owner and Cheese Master, Ed Puterbaugh, has a background in bio chemistry, therefore he knows his…read moreway around a good bacteria! He has put his knowledge into making some of the best small batch cheeses in the state. He begins with a local, grass fed milk. Only natural ingredients are added to the cheeses, including the dye which is derived flowers. They are creative with their recipes and their names. For example, my favorite Sassy Redhead gets its namesake from a dusting of paprika on top and it gets its kick from peppercorns, mustard seeds and red pepper flakes. Abbey Road is an English cheddar smattered with sun dried tomatoes. The Kentucky Derby is a derby style cheddar with a hint of bourbon. Did you know his cheese is lactose fre You and the kids will enjoy a tour where you not only learn a few things but have lots of fun sampling and trying on cheese hats. They create cheese trays for parties and you can often find them at the Lexington Farmers Market where you can sample before you buy.
