Bourbon Classic
Thoroughbreds, the hot brown, mint juleps, the dulcimer, bluegrass: Kentucky is the birthplace of many culturally, historically, and gastronomically important contributions to American society. None, however, may be as widely appreciated and famous as bourbon, the signature liquor of the Bluegrass State, which makes it all the more surprising that Kentucky has only this year begun to celebrate its greatest export with a fun and educational event: the Bourbon Classic. The Bourbon Classic is a weekend event exploring the “best of the best” in the world of authentic bourbon, from the craftsmanship of distilling to enjoying the spirit in its many forms. The event will be held in the area of town known as Whiskey Row, where Heaven Hill, Brown-Forman, Michter’s Distillery, Beam Inc., and other big bourbon players have headquarters or major sales/back office operations. The area is the hub of Kentucky’s whiskey/bourbon trade to the south, and as such, is a fitting location for the festivities. Classic 2013 will take place Friday, March 22 and Saturday, March 23 at the Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts. The event schedule will begin on Friday evening and continue throughout Saturday, concluding with a showcase event on Saturday evening. Highlights include a bourbon cocktail challenge, a general session showcasing master distillers, educational sessions for specific bourbon-related tips and techniques, and exhibits and tastings from key vendors.
Friday’s activities will focus on entertainment, with the Bourbon Classic “Cocktail Challenge” featuring contemporary and classic cocktails and hors d’oeuvres prepared by matched teams of chefs and bartenders, followed by an after party where attendees can mix and mingle with the master distillers and other experts. Saturday’s activities are more educational, with the “Bourbon Classic University” exploring focused learning sessions such as “How the Barrel Influences the Bottle: Exploring Maturation and Bourbon Production,” “Crafting the Perfect Cocktails (and Serving them Right),” “Balance and Flavor in Bourbon and Food,” and “Culinary Tips for Bourbon on the Plate.” The Bourbon Marketplace offers exhibits and displays with bourbon tastings, food tastings, and culinary and bourbon-related products. The event will cap with a closing night party. As the only event of its kind in Kentucky, this is a rare, interactive opportunity for visitors and connoisseurs to experience all the facets of bourbon education from production to promotion, along with bourbon enjoyment. To purchase tickets for the Bourbon Classic, visit or call the Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts, 502-584-7777 or 800-775-7777. Tickets for Friday events only are $135 (standard) or $175 (VIP), for Saturday only are $155 (standard) or $195 (VIP), and package deals for the two days are $275 (standard) or $355 (VIP).

Derby Dinner Playhouse’s 9 to 5
It’s a man’s world…but the women of the Derby Dinner Playhouse’s newest production, 9 to 5, know how to run it! This hilarious story of friendship and revenge is based on the 1980 hit movie, and features a score written by Dolly Parton. The musical comedy tells the story of three unlikely friends, working women living out their fantasies of getting even with, and their successful overthrow of, the company's "sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot" boss.
kidnap Mr. Hart and hold him hostage in his own home, while waiting on the culmination of their plan to ruin him personally and professionally. Meanwhile, the three use the occasion of their boss’s absence to enact numerous changes around the office, including flexible hours, a job-sharing program that allows people to work part-time, and a daycare center in the building. All the while they conceal the true reason for his disappearance.
Judy Bernly (played by Sarah Ann Koster) joins Consolidated Companies as a secretary to the misogynistic Franklin Hart (Matthew Bryan Feld), and is quickly shown the overt manipulations and exploitation of the workforce when Violet Newstead (Jillian Prefach), the quick-witted office supervisor, is passed over for a well-deserved promotion because Mr. Hart stole her ideas and passed the position to a man. Meanwhile, poor Doralee Rhodes (Elizabeth Bailey) has her reputation tarnished by the same sleazeball, who spreads an inter-office rumor that the two are having an affair. The three wronged workers form a friendship over dinner, with one of the production’s most memorable scenes playing out as they fantasize about getting revenge on Mr. Hart, with Judy wanting to shoot him execution style, Doralee wanting to rope him, and Violet wanting to poison him.
It’s easy for the audience to identify with the desires of the main characters to best their terrible boss and improve their frustrating day jobs, and when they finally come out on top, it’s enough to give even the most put-upon office worker hope.
As it turns out, a series of wacky misunderstandings lead the heroines to

Fun Hometown Spring Break Ideas
School’s out in Kentucky and surrounding areas, and Louisville is full of fun things to do, see, and enjoy during the break. Considering the tough economic times facing many Americans today, a hometown vacation may be a better bet that jetting off to distant—and expensive—locales. But just because an event is local doesn’t mean that it can’t be exciting, and Kentuckiana is the place to be for fun and wallet-saving events for the whole family. Many centers and organizations are offering free workshops during spring break, covering a wide variety of topics that are educational, athletic, artistic, or just plain fun. Places like the Carnegie Center for Art and History (201 E. Spring St, New Albany IN, 812-944-7336) and the Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft (715 W Main St, 502589-0102) are hosting drop-in art workshops, with different activities each day, often relating to current exhibits. No prior registration is required, and, of course, no artistic skill is necessary to have a good time. StageOne’s DramaWorks Spring Break Camp (323 W. Broadway, Ste. 600, 502-498-2436), a Louisville spring break staple, is back this year, with half-day and full-day options. The drama classes encourage students to explore the fundamentals of acting and movement for the stage through the use of their body, voice, and imagination. All activities are done under the guidance of StageOne Family Theatre’s artists/educators. The curriculum is regularly structured, affording busy parents a welldeserved break from their budding stars of stage and screen. Though spring break is a time away from school, it can still be a chance to learn something new in a fun way. Numerous activities and camps—organized around an educational or scientific theme—are available for individual days at a time or for the entire week. The Jewish Community Center (3600 Dutchmans Ln, 502-238-2708) is promoting their
“Going on a Picnic” events, which are organized around themes such as having a picnic from an ant’s perspective, playing with dirt while learning about its importance to the ecosystem, recycling, and nutrition. Events are for small children, and are nondenominational. Similarly, the Kentucky Science Center (727 W Main St, 502-561-6100 ext. 6111) is hosting its own spring break camps (both full- and half-day sessions), focusing on farmers, the seasons, and the human body. Daycamps are half-price for members, $40 for nonmembers. For those more interested in animals and pet guardianship, the Kentucky Humane Society (1000 Lyndon Ln, 502-515-3149) has a dog/cat themed experience in which campers participate in five days of socializing with adoptable animals, exploring animal-related careers, and making toys and treats for their own pets. Campers will enhance their learning experience through animal-related crafts, games, videos, guest speakers, skits and more. The five-day experience is $200. For a similar price, the Louisville Zoo (1100 Trevilian Way, 502-459-2181) has all kinds of daily, animal-loving activities planned for different age groups; for specific information, give them a call. Finally, for the more athletically-inclined, 4Kicks for Kids (450 Commercial Drive, 502- 254-6040) Soccer Camps are offering specialty soccer clinics, designed around the philosophy of teaching the joy of movement and sports. The days’ activities are designed for beginners, and will include favorite games like “sharks and minnows” and “crab soccer.” This is a fun, high-energy activity, perfect for parents who want to wear their kid out so they can relax. At only $25 a day, parents can afford their own spring break activities, too! For more activities and fun events happening during this time, be sure to check out our website at www.whigl.com.

Mid-America Trucking Show
More than just a tradeshow, the Mid-America Trucking Show is the annual forum for the heavy-duty trucking industry, allowing personal interaction between industry representatives, trucking professionals, and fans. Attendees can look forward to an efficient forum for researching the latest products and services that provide their livelihoods with a competitive edge, while exhibitors have the opportunity to introduce new offerings, increase brand awareness, promote products, and connect with suppliers, customers, and prospects. The Mid-America Trucking Show is where the industry comes together, where attendees network with Fortune 500 companies, where media outlets from around the world go to report on the business of trucking, and where trucking business gets done. The 24th annual PKY Truck Beauty Championship kicks off the show truck season with the largest grouping of show trucks in the country, all vying for honors in the country's premier truck beauty show. The event, which has become a star attraction at the MidAmerica Trucking Show, celebrates North America's heavy-duty, working show trucks. Look for the trucks in Lot "J" behind the West Wing. The Truck Beauty Championship is followed by the Salute to Women Behind the Wheel celebration. The event recognizes
the outstanding safety and performance accomplishments of professional female drivers. There will be refreshments, goodie bags, and a photo of all professional women drivers. Additionally, the Mid-America Trucking Show is proud to provide its attendees with informative, constructive, and truckingoriented seminars—information that goes well beyond "good to know" and enters into the "must-know" category. These seminars will provide invaluable information for companies, fleets, and individuals. This includes the Mid-America Trucking Show Fleet Forum, a conference for fleet executives and heavy duty/commercial vehicle industry VIPs. The forum will combine the resources and expertise of trucking's two major publications (Fleet Owner and Heavy Duty Trucking) and the largest trade show to provide an in-depth look at the future of equipment and trucking. The 2013 Mid-America Trucking Show will be held March 21 - March 23, 2013 at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville. The show hours are Thursday, March 21, with a VIP session from 10 am – 1 pm and general admission from 1 pm– 6 pm, Friday, March 22, general admission from 10 am- 6 pm, and Saturday, March 23, with a general admission time of 9 am - 4 pm. Tickets can be purchased through the Kentucky Exposition Center, by calling 502-367-5131, or $10 at the door.
