ur colonial forefathers were of a brave and bold stock. By the late 1700s, most had already participated in the Revolutionary War for independence from British rule, and many still had the thirst for adventure in their veins. That, coupled with their war pensions and land grants, inspired a move to spread westward, even though no one was certain what they would encounter.

Catharine received as good down and stand up for herself, although an education as could be had in 1780s it did practically take an act of Congress Pennsylvania, and she was nobody’s fool The men did not always move west on their for that to be permitted. And yet, there are when it came to protecting her rights own. Many a wife gathered her children, instances from Jeffersontown’s own past that and those of her children. She relied on bade goodbye to the loved ones who raised not only shed light on how women’s rights her brothers and neighbors to see her her, and dutifully accompanied her husband were handled, but also the intelligence and through, while she and William tried to into the unknown.

William Goose Sr. ran his business from a building that sat on lot number 5, at the corner of what is now Watterson Trail and College Drive.

So, it appears that the county clerk thought that perhaps Elizabeth was signing away her rights to the property under duress, and offered her the chance, in private, to speak up, if that were the case. Pope duly noted Elizabeth told him “that she was willing the said deed should be recorded and did not wish to retract her said acknowledgements.” All this looks as if Pope had a genuine concern for Elizabeth’s well-being, and it reads as if he did not really believe she was being treated fairly, nor was she truly OK with the property being handed to Goose Jr., but he was obligated to record the deed anyway. The stories of these two wives of William Goose Sr. show how tied women were to the restraints of colonial laws, yet they also show how much concern was expressed for their rights as human beings. A divorce was very difficult to obtain in those days, especially when it had to be approved first by the Kentucky General Assembly, then by the county court. Not only was Catharine’s

divorce granted due to the unfortunate circumstance of her husband’s cruelty, but her educated nature, loving family and caring neighbors helped protect her and see her through a very trying time. That she was awarded upkeep and child support seems entirely fair to us now, but at the time she was probably lucky to get it, considering how many strangers to Catharine had to be consulted merely to obtain her divorce. Sallie Cheatham Smith, a direct descendant of William Goose Sr. and Catharine Yenowine, credits a great deal of women’s rights in early Jeffersontown to the actions of Catharine. “They learned from other women at a specific time,” she says. “They had the ability to go before the court system and said, ‘This is what happened. I wish to be out of that marriage.’ And they followed through with that. She was a strong woman and I’m very proud of her, because there are others in the community, I’m sure, that she also helped in the times and province.“

Elizabeth’s story presents a picture of the concern others felt for a woman whose husband was domineering, to say the least. Considering how few rights women had, even during the later Victorian era, it is fascinating to see that women in little, rural, colonial-era Jeffersontown were viewed with respect, and looked after by their fellow citizens. That is something of which to be proud.

GLASER’S COLLISION CENTERS

Writer / Melissa Stalb Photography Provided

It’s been a terrible day. You’ve had an auto accident. The car is damaged and you’re frazzled, frustrated and worried about what comes next. It’s a tough day for you, but the staff at Glaser’s Collision Centers’ five locations sees this situation all the time. The family-owned company has been around since 1986, and repairs all body damage to vehicles, bringing them back to pre-accident condition.

Secondly, Glaser says it’s important to sit down with your insurance agent and find out what is included in your policy. “Many people don’t realize a rental car is not included in full coverage,” Glaser says. “It used to take us seven or eight days to fix a car, however with supply shortages and repair volume, it could be longer. A rental car for more than two weeks can get very expensive but if it’s included in your policy you save in the long run.”

“We’re the people no one wants to see,” says Aaron Glaser, the second-generation owner of Glaser’s. “It’s our job to fix the car and walk the customer through it all. We’ll handle the insurance claim, the rental car, whatever is needed.”

In addition, finding the right repair shop is important. As vehicle technology continues to advance, Glaser says make sure you understand the capabilities of the shop and if they are keeping up-to-date with their practices. Be comfortable with the shop you choose to ensure they are taking care of your vehicle repairs.

There are a few factors to keep in mind when that accident occurs. Glaser says grab your smartphone and snap as many photos as possible.

All the Glaser’s locations maintain I-CAR Gold Class status, with trained welders and technicians to work on all makes and models.

“We see all kinds of hit-and-runs and uninsured motorists,” Glaser says. “If you document with a hundred photos, you can always delete them if they’re not needed but once everyone starts to leave, you’re losing any evidence of the accident.”

We work hard but we also like to have fun hosting chili cookoffs, pumpkin carving contest and more, ” stated Glaser. Another important part of the collision centers’ business is giving back to the community.

“We are very fortunate,” Glaser says. “We’re always looking for ways to give back, and each year it’s different. We want to help as many people as possible, and sometimes that looks like donating to a local charity, and other times it’s doing a car giveaway.” They’ll continue to offer assistance to those having the worst day. “We deal with it all day long and we’ve got the process figured out,” Glaser says. “Give us a call and we’ll walk you through it.” Glaser’s Collision Centers just opened a fifth shop in Oldham County adding to their shops in Louisville, South Louisville, Bullitt County and Jeffersontown.

AT LOUISVILLE NATURE CENTER, THERE ARE PROGRAMS, EVENTS AND EXPERIENCES FOR ALL AGES

Writer / Julie Engelhardt Photography Provided

f you have the desire to get away from it all, but don’t have the time to drive hours from home, then there’s a local destination that offers the peace and solace you crave. This amazing oasis is the Louisville Nature Center, located within easy walking distance from the main entrance of the Louisville Zoo. The Nature Center consists of an education building as well as 80 acres of forest. A portion of the forest is sanctioned as the Beargrass Creek State Nature Preserve, while the remaining area is owned by the City of Louisville. Employees and numerous volunteers manage the city-owned portion, and it is their job to restore the forest by planting native species, removing invasive species and tending to the two miles of walking trails. The main building has been in existence for 25 years, but the Nature Center, as a nonprofit, was founded in 1964, and the State Nature Preserve was dedicated in the 1980s. The current executive director is Rebecca Minnick, who has been with the Center for five years. When asked what visitors might see or do during their visit, Minnick says there are many different answers, depending upon who’s asking the question.

10 | February 2024 | TownePost.com

“I think we are an important place for birds and birders in the city because our forest is completely uninterrupted by roads, and because we have a creek, we do get a lot of good migratory birds,” she explains. “We get a lot of spring warblers, and we just actually had sightings of woodcocks for the first time in possibly a couple of decades, which is pretty exciting for us.” Another bird that’s become a regular at the Center is the pileated woodpecker. “They’re not rare, but here they seem to have gotten used to having people around,” Minnick says. “They’re cool-looking birds. They look like Woody Woodpecker, and they make a lot of noise and it’s pretty awesome. They have that Woody Woodpecker kind of ‘laugh.’ ” If you’re not much of a hiker, then one quiet spot that’s perfect for bird watching is the Center’s bird blind. It’s constructed with one-way glass, so you can see the birds and animals but they aren’t able to see you. “We put out bird feeders every day and we can see all sorts of species, like the woodpeckers and finches,” Minnick says. “Often you’ll see deer eating the bird seed, or squirrels and woodchucks, which is pretty cool.”

Little ones will love visiting the Center, especially when they explore the nature play area, which was built in 2019. “It is tucked into the woods and it’s made out of all natural materials,” Minnick says. “There are no swings or slides, but there is a gravel pit that kids can play in, and a sandbox. There’s a platform they can climb on, and stumps to play on. They can build with wood blocks. It’s a big hit. There’s a lot of research about the benefits of self-guided play in nature for kids, so we just kind of encourage adults to sit back and let the kids do their own thing. It’s nice because it’s in the shade.” The Center is also home to some wonderful gardens. One is the Sensory Garden, located in the front by the parking area, and the Rain Garden, situated behind the main building. “These are both entirely managed by master gardeners,” Minnick says. “It’s all volunteer work. They’re pretty stunning in the summer, especially when they are full of butterflies.”

The Sensory Garden is intended for people to engage, using all of their senses. In this garden visitors will discover many types of plants, such as the mountain mint. “When I pull up in the morning in the summer, the mountain mint is just swarming with pollinators like bees,” Minnick says. “That’s one of my favorites.”

The Rain Garden is home to water-loving plants and flowers including columbine, cardinal flower and blazing star. The Center also has a children’s garden. “Last year our Swallowtail Forest School built the garden,” Minnick says. “The children do it all. They plant, they prepare the beds, they water, and you go out there and they’ll be eating entire cucumbers just like an apple. They’re allowed free range to eat the vegetables. They’re so proud of what they do.” The Swallowtail Forest School is a preschool program that opened in 2020. The concept behind the school is that the students spend their time entirely outside, unless there’s thunder, lightning, freezing rain or a bathroom necessity. According to Minnick, the children come dressed for the weather. If it’s chilly out, they build a fire in the outdoor pit to warm themselves. If they need a bathroom, they use a camp toilet. The students and teachers also have an outdoor shed they use to store their belongings, plus there’s a kitchen area. They also have a wonderful mud hill where they can play. The children have

a variety of items to use, somewhat like building blocks, where they can create various structures. The school primarily follows the JCPS school system schedule, beginning in August and ending in May. Classes are kept small with a maximum of 15 children and three teachers. “The Forest School concept is finally starting to catch on in the United States,” Minnick says. “It originated in Europe, and

the idea is that nature is the best place for kids to be. They’re learning socio-emotional skills and they’re learning a lot about resiliency and risk taking.” The Nature Center also offers public programs on the weekends that are primarily geared towards adults, but not exclusively. They include Night Hikes, Owl Prowl and Beginner Birding.

“The Night Hikes are really popular because most people don’t go into a forest at night,” Minnick says. “It’s a really different experience. For some people there’s a fear factor, but you’re likely to hear owls and possibly see one. You’re likely to see wildlife that you wouldn’t see in the day because they’re nocturnal.” People joining in on the Owl Prowl hike will start their evening with an indoor

TRUCKIN’

TROY KING WITH THE LOUISVILLE FOOD TRUCK ASSOCIATION CONTINUES TO CHAMPION LOCAL CULINARY VENTURES Writer / Carrie Vittitoe Photography Provided

roy King is what you might call a serial entrepreneur - a man who thinks about ways to work smarter, not harder, oftentimes coming up with a bona fide business plan as a result. He admits to having lots of ideas, but attributes a large portion of his success as co-owner of Velvet Couch Hospitality Group to his wife, Selena Johnson, an accountant who ensures his ideas are financially feasible. While King handles operations at their various food endeavors, Johnson handles everything administrative and financial. “She’s the backbone,” he says. King has retired from a career as a police officer, and says he has always cooked and had an interest in food. “My father wasn’t a big proponent of fast food,” he says. “He worked third shift, so we had to come home and cook.” As a teenager in Chicago, King had a job at a hot dog restaurant, so when he purchased and began running a hot dog cart in Louisville in 2008 after leaving the police force, it was almost like a return to his roots.

14 | February 2024 | TownePost.com

The cart was a cheap and quick way to get into the industry. “I knew I didn’t want to work for anyone else ever again,” he adds.

lack of education hinders individuals from getting into certain fields. I want to break those barriers for young people.”

A couple years after purchasing the cart, he became a manager at Tom & Chee in 2011, gaining more experience and knowledge in the overall food industry. He met Johnson in 2013 and she encouraged him to get a food truck, which he did in June 2014, calling it Pollo: A Gourmet Chicken Joint. Business ventures and opportunities began to snowball.

At Culinary Row, they plan to reserve a food

In 2019 he and Johnson signed a lease and opened their restaurant, Six Forks Burger Company. In 2022 he became the chief executive officer of the Louisville Food Truck Association (LFTA), with Johnson serving as treasurer. They plan to open a food truck park in 2024 called Jubilee Field, an outdoor entertainment venue with a space for stationary food trucks called Culinary Row. “The one thing I love about food trucking is you don’t have to have any type of education,” King says. “Sometimes the

trailer for individuals who have challenges that could serve as hindrances. For example, one food truck trailer is only going to be rented to a mother who is a single parent. When it comes to food truck entrepreneurialism, there are a lot of benefits. First, it is simply less costly to get into than a restaurant. “We probably spent $100,000 building our restaurant, and maybe $25,000-$30,000 opening a food truck,” King says. “There is definitely a financial difference.” Another big difference is the way in which a food truck allows the owner to move and travel, which King likes. “We have traveled to the Grand Canyon, New Orleans and Atlanta,” he says. The couple’s 7-year-old daughter has already been to 25 states. The

flexibility of food trucking was one reason for their decision to close their brickand-mortar Six Forks Burger Company in September 2023, despite its success. When King publicly announced the closure by video, he acknowledged that running the restaurant simply didn’t work for the lifestyle his family wants to have. King says traveling with a food truck is fairly easy; you just have to check in with the local health department wherever you’re going. “Some municipalities may require you to get a business license as well,” he says. He explains that when a food truck goes

to another area for a festival or event, the host generally acquires any legal paperwork that vendors need to have. “We are the only food vendor from Kentucky that attends the National Fried Chicken Festival in New Orleans every year,” King says. “That host gets all necessary licenses and permits.” Looking in from outside the industry, it may seem that food trucking could be at odds with brick-and-mortar restaurants, but King says they can and do work hand in hand. “You go to Los Angeles or Chicago, and most restaurants have a food truck,” he says. “In our case, we were food truckers first.”

Even longtime restaurants like Chick-fil-A, White Castle and Olive Garden have seen the advantages of food trucks. “Restaurants have seen that food trucking is here to stay,” King says. King played a big role in ensuring food trucking is here to stay in Louisville. In 2017 he and another food truck entrepreneur sued city government because of rules placed on food trucks, which were aimed at protecting restaurants. The U.S. district court ruled in favor of food truck operators in 2018. Since that time, King says Louisville has become a welcoming city for food trucks. As part of his role with the Louisville Food Truck Association, King helps people who are interested in food trucks and the financial rewards they can bring, by sharing knowledge and making it easier for them to learn about and enter the industry. He

collaborated with several government agencies including Alcoholic Beverage Control, the entity that regulates food trucks, to offer pop-up clinics to teach people how to safely and legally operate a food truck.

trucks,” he says. “I’m also going to build a classroom and train new food truckers because I get a lot of phone calls from people who want to buy a food truck.”

King also hopes to purchase a warehouse and create a food truck commissary. “It’s going to be a place where I keep all my food

To spread the word about the Louisville Food Truck Association and promote food trucks in general, King has created Food

Truck Invasions throughout Louisville and surrounding areas. “We invade cities and neighborhoods with food trucks,” he says. “It’s become very successful. It looks like it is something that just happens, but it is very much planned. The invasion in May 2023 in Shepherdsville had 21 food trucks and approximately 4,000 people in attendance. “It is my wish to make the LFTA just as powerful as the Kentucky Restaurant Association,” he says. Over the years, one of the lessons King has learned is the non-food skills needed to own and operate a food truck - the kind of skills that involve construction tools, and are aimed at taking a trailer and converting it into an attractive and usable food truck. He uses his know-how in another business venture, Derby City Mobile Kitchens. “We build food trucks for ourselves and other people,” he says. He has a plan to trick out a food truck for his daughter’s Girl Scouts

troop, making it easier for them to sell when cookie season rolls around. While one might assume that King never sleeps, given his business plans and projects, he says he goes to bed early but wakes early when no one else is up, so he can think and research. Perhaps it is because he has already retired from one career, or his diagnosis last year with diabetes, but King thinks thoroughly about how the lifestyle he wants

to lead intersects with his food businesses. For example, he enjoys hunting hogs, and is considering buying a farm in Texas. He says the goal is to take people on culinary adventures to hunt, dress and cook their own hogs in the same day. If all of his other ventures are any indication, as long as Johnson gives the word that his idea makes financial sense, King will see that it gets done.

WORLD OF WHISKEY

FARM DISTILLERY PROJECT AT LOCUST GROVE OFFERS AN EDUCATIONAL GLIMPSE INTO THE PAST Writer / Helen E. McKinney Photography by Fox and Rose Photography

t’s been said that in Kentucky, whiskey is more than a drink - it’s a way of life. On Major William Croghan’s farm, it was used to preserve a product and make a profit - and yes, it was a way of life.

Grove in May 2017, historical interpreter Brian Cushing oversaw operations.“My main goal is for this to be an enticing window into the interconnected world of farm economy in the early 19th century,” Cushing says.

Croghan was the original owner of Locust Grove, a farm of 55 rolling acres just six miles upriver from downtown Louisville. He and his wife, Lucy Clark, a sister to General George Rogers Clark and William Clark of Lewis and Clark fame, built and lived in the 1792 Georgian mansion known now as the Locust Grove historic site.

In 1999 Cushing began volunteering as a first-person interpreter at the historic site, portraying an individual relevant to the Locust Grove property in 1820. Cushing says he “was fortunate enough to be the program director at the time the

In today’s world, visitors flock to such sites to take a peek at how whiskey was made and life was lived in the early 19th century. But in Croghan’s time, a distillery was used for crop processing and preservation so that grain and fruit crops would not spoil due to lack of refrigeration. The Farm Distillery Project was born at Locust Grove to represent the small, farmscale distilling activities of early Kentucky, before mass production evolved. Making whiskey from excess corn and other grains was one of the best ways to preserve the crop. At that time, Kentucky whiskey had not yet developed into the distinctive bourbon that we have today. Once a distillery was recreated at Locust 20 | February 2024 | TownePost.com

project started to come to fruition, and since I was already dealing with interpretive programming, including historic trades, I was tapped to dig into the specifics of how the distillery likely worked in the 19th century, and to translate that into action.” This took a bit of researching. Cushing says he has always appreciated distilled spirits. “I knew what they were and had a general idea of the history, but this went way further than that,” he says. “Melissa Alexander was a volunteer on the distillery committee and she made a connection with the distillery at George Washington’s Mount Vernon. To our delight, they invited us out.” Cushing and others had the opportunity to spend three days making whiskey at Washington’s home in Virginia during full-scale production. “That was my first experience with getting my hands on the process and learning to make whiskey,” he says. “I always say I never had to break any modern habits. My introduction was the 18th century way.” Steve Bashore and the crew at Mount Vernon were the cornerstone of his distillery training. Bashore is their master distiller and “that experience with him and his crew was formative for the direction my

life took,” Cushing says. To add to Cushing’s knowledge, he says Alan Bishop from Spirits of French Lick and One Piece at a Time Distilling Institute stepped in, and became a great friend and mentor. “Wilderness Trail Distillery invited me to train with them for a day,” he says. “That’s where I got my best lesson in on-the-fly cooperage. I also went through Executive Bourbon Steward training at Distilled Spirits Epicenter and viewed every mention of distilled spirits that I could locate in the Filson Club collection from prior to 1900. Lots of other reading, discussing and experimenting followed.” Records exist from Louisville’s Fitzhugh & Rose store to prove the purchase of a 66-gallon still on Croghan’s account in 1808. The original estate contained about 700 acres. The speculation is that Croghan operated a whiskey distillery on Muddy Fork, in what is now the Riverwood subdivision. It would have been the probable site for a mill, as very often, distilleries were associated with mills. Locust Grove got some of the biggest distilling families around on board for this project. Board Member Sally Van Winkle Campbell, the granddaughter of the legendary Pappy Van Winkle, “hit the ground and made it happen,” according to Cushing. “I doubt there was ever such a wellfunded project at Locust Grove,” he says. “When I first heard about the idea, I thought that if it happened, I would probably be long-since retired, but she made those connections, stoked the fire of enthusiasm, and everybody came together as a team to see this thing through. It was amazing to watch unfold. I can’t thank her enough.” Campbell says she had recently joined the Locust Grove board, and didn’t yet have a niche with which to be involved.

with our Director Carol Ely and she mentioned that there was evidence that

there may have been a small-scale whiskey and brandy distillery at Locust Grove, and that there had from time to time been talk of recreating that,” Campbell says. Being from a distillery family, Campbell immediately expressed interest. “The thought just grabbed me,” she says. “To have the chance to tell the story of some of the first spirits produced in Kentucky, to tell a story of this farm that had never been told, it was just really exciting. Besides, the timing was right. It was 2014 and spirits production in the area was exploding. It was a perfect storm.” “We were looking for ways to tell the farm story here, and farm distilling is part of the process of preserving crops,” Ely says. “A board member, Susan Reigler, who is a food and bourbon writer, mentioned that the Croghans would have distilled here, and the idea grew. Sally VanWinkle Campbell was key in fundraising for the refurbishment of

an existing small log building to recreate a small farm distillery.” Campbell admits she didn’t know a thing about fundraising. “It felt right to go first to the distillers in the area, and especially to Louisville’s historic distilling families,” she says. That said, she visited a friend, Mac Brown, and said she needed help. His response was, “You’ve come to the right place!” She says they quickly raised $60,000 to jump-start the project. There were other factors that helped get the project off the ground quickly. Campbell’s brother, Julian, and her family donated

She also credits Dominick Pagano, and his vast background in engineering and passion for history. “He was responsible for drawing up plans, working with Vendome to get the still just right for us, laying old bricks, plumbing, shoveling dirt, digging drains, and having the wooden water raceway handcrafted,” she says.

“The project would never have had such a successful outcome without the passion, quest for knowledge, and creativity of Brian,” Campbell adds. “His enthusiasm for the project from the start was palpable.” Ely says visitors to the distillery will remember the “skill and artisanry of the workers as they developed the process and adapted it for Kentucky crops, the sheer labor involved in doing by hand what is now done effortlessly by machines, and the context of distilling as a farm craft just like smoking meat or making cheese, drying and preserving fruit, or milling and baking.”

BOTTOMS UP

TAILSPIN ALE FEST 2024 TURNS IT UP TO 11

2024

tailspin ale fest louisville’s winter warmer

Tailspin Ale Fest enters its 11th year with a new charity partner, an exclusive bourbon, and new and improved restroom experiences. The annual beer festival, which draws attendees from around the country, takes place March 2. The festival will again take place at the iconic Bowman Field. The new charity partner will bring new entertainment to the event. Louisville-based Pints for Parkinson’s is partnering with TKO Parkinson’s, which is dedicated to helping those with Parkinson’s disease, and will

bring a boxing exhibition to the festival for the first time. Part of what the charity does is provide Parkinson’s patients with physical exercise - a key component to fighting the disease - in the form of boxing. “It’s not only about exercising,” said Tisha Gainey, co-founder of Tailspin. “Boxing is also mental as well as physical. TKO also is a community of support.” “We are proud that Tailspin Ale Fest has decided to support Pints for Parkinson’s/ TKO’s mission to help fight Parkinson’s disease,” said Brian Helton of TKO. “We have seen them do great things for great causes in the past, so to have team Tailspin choose to support our charity at the local level is an honor. We’re excited to partner with them to make a difference in Parkinson’s fighters right here in our own community.” One of the festival’s mainstay attractions, the Bourbon Barrel Beer Bar, is back. It will be sponsored by Green River Distilling this year and will have added features. The sponsorship this year comes with a new twist; Tailspin will present its exclusive barrel pick from the distillery. Gainey said

26 | February 2024 | TownePost.com

roughly 180 bottles will be available, some at the festival and some in advance. As part of the partnership, proceeds from bottle sales will benefit Pints for Parkinson’s and TKO. “Having our name on the barrel and it going toward a great charity is a win three times over,” Gainey said. “The majority of craft beer drinkers are spirits lovers as well. I feel like craft cocktails and craft beer go hand in hand.” Of course, the main draw at the Green River Bourbon Barrel Beer Bar will be the many selections of beers aged in Green River barrels Tailspin acquired from the distillery. In those selections, craft beer and bourbon come together in one beverage. Tom Drexler Plumbing, Air & Electric decided to make the most of its relationship with Tailspin Ale Fest this year. Why? Because at an event like Tailspin, bathrooms are important. “It doesn’t matter if you have 50 or 1,000 bathrooms, you can never have too many,” Gainey said. “Some people are funny about

using porta pots, but we’re out on the tarmac of an airfield. What are you going to do?” In recent years, Tailspin brought in a custom-made bathroom facility, the Urination Station, that utilizes urinals to keep restroom lines short and moving. Last year the festival added karaoke to entertain those waiting in line at the porta potties. It was named Piss Pour Karaoke and will return this year. “It’s either entertainment or torture,” Gainey said. In addition, Drexler added clever signs to the porta potties (for example, “We’re your

No. 1 for No. 2.”). Don’t be surprised if you see more of the same. This year Tailspin will add a VIP restroom pass experience to what has been dubbed the Luxury Loo. Drop $30 for one of 300 VIP passes, and you’ll have access to a restroom experience that is heated and has full plumbing. “They flush and everything,” Gainey said.

In addition, if you come with a group, you’ll have a chance to invest in your own private porta potty. For $200, you’ll get a dedicated potty with a combination padlock on the door, and only you and your group have the combination. Feel free to bring your own potpourri. Finally, Tailspin will decorate one special Golden Porta Potty, painting it gold and adorning it in luxury. This limited-access porta potty will be dubbed The Royal Flush.

“It won’t flush, but it will be decked out with some amenities,” Gainey said. “Potty like a rock star.” Expect roughly 250 beers to pour on March 2, and this year’s Tailspin Ale Fest brings a new featured brewery in Untitled Art, based in Waunakee, Wisconsin. The brewery, which also makes seltzers and nonalcoholic beverages, collaborates with artists to blend beverages with creativity. The brewery recently began distributing products in Kentucky. If you’re going to the festival as a designated driver, or are simply taking a break from imbibing, you’ll have more choices than ever. Free water is a mainstay at Tailspin, but this year Red Hot Roasters also will provide coffee. Meanwhile, there will be nonalcoholic beers and seltzers, CBD water and more.

“WE ARE PROUD THAT TAILSPIN ALE FEST HAS DECIDED TO SUPPORT PINTS FOR PARKINSON’S/TKO’S MISSION TO HELP FIGHT PARKINSON’S DISEASE,” - Brian Helton, TKO

The layout this year will be the same as last, which means the festival is 100% outdoors.

In other words, dress for the weather. VIP tickets sold our faster than ever before. For those who take advantage of the Tailspin shuttle service, an 11th shuttle stop was added at Drinks Jeffersonville. The shuttle program includes drinks and apps, and is another VIP-esque option for just $20. The AC Hotel NuLu once again provided “stay and play” packages for attendees.

In addition to all the new attractions, from boxing demos to primo potties, attendees at Tailspin year 11 can expect all the same options they’ve come to know: Cox’s Cigar Lounge, the Cider & Sour Bar, Drake’s Silent Disco, live music from Tony & the Tan Lines, 10 local food trucks and snack vendors, karaoke, vintage planes and plenty of photo opps.

7 DATE IDEAS FOR A MEMORABLE VALENTINE’S DAY Writer / Abigail Hake Photography Provided

30 | February 2024 | TownePost.com

alentine’s Day is coming up, which means it’s time to start planning the perfect date for you and your special someone. Do you prefer a typical dinner with your loved one or would you rather enjoy a Valentine’s Day that’s a little more memorable? Whatever you like, here are a few ideas that you may or may not have thought of before.

1. GO SKATING

Lots of outdoor ice rinks are still open through the end of February so check out your options. Skating under the stars can be very romantic. If outdoor skating isn’t an option, look into skating times at your local indoor rink or even roller rink. Gliding around together and holding hands is always a good time. If you aren’t comfortable with skating, grab some hot chocolates and go watch others do it. This can actually be quite entertaining and definitely leave you with something to talk (or laugh) about!

Welcome Home to Harmony Discover your key to happiness; making Harmony YOUR home.

2. RECREATE A FAVORITE MEMORY

Whether it’s your first or 15th Valentine’s Day together, there’s probably a memorable moment between the two of you that stands out. Do your best to recreate that special moment. Go back to where you met or where your first date was, and take a walk down memory lane it’s sure to give you all the feels.

3. PLAN A PICNIC

While you might not be able to do this outside, there are plenty of indoorfriendly ways to have a picnic. Set up in the living room in front of the fire, crack open a bottle of wine, and enjoy some light snacks and appetizers while getting to know each other a little better - or, if you’ve been together a while, getting to know each other again.

TownePost.com | February 2024 | 31

4. DO A DRIVE-IN DATE

Load up the car with some folding chairs, cozy blankets and lots of snacks, and head to your closest drive-in theater for an evening with a throwback feel. Depending on the weather, you could set this up in your backyard, at the park or even in the basement if the weather won’t cooperate. If you plan to do it at home, string some bistro lights for a little extra magic, and don’t forget the popcorn.

5. ENJOY A QUICK GETAWAY

Getting away is always refreshing for those involved. Whether it’s an evening at the local boutique hotel or a cabin in the woods a couple hours away, enjoy the uninterrupted time together. You might even seek out a treehouse to rent as those have a truly magical and romantic feel, which is sure to make for a memorable Valentine’s date.

6. GET ACTIVE TOGETHER

If you don’t regularly work out together, this might be a fun one to try. Set up a personal training session, go for a run together or plan a hike with a special surprise at the top. Getting the endorphins going together could really help get the sparks going. Plus, it’s always fun to cheer each other on when doing hard things.

7. CREATE A BUCKET LIST

Bucket lists are always fun to come up with and even more fun to complete. Why not make one just for the two of you? Come up with all the things you can do without the kids, or maybe before you have kids, depending on where you are in the relationship. Make sure to include all kinds of ideas - fun, silly, extreme, romantic, easy and hard. Start by checking one of the items off the list THIS Valentine’s Day.

Remember, just because it’s Valentine’s Day, that doesn’t mean it has to be a twoperson event. No matter where you are on the relationship spectrum, we’ve all had a crazy past couple of years and we all deserve a little treat. If there’s not a significant other in the picture, or maybe you just can’t be with the one you love so dear, spoil yourself and indulge a bit. Grab some chocolates, treat yourself to a nice dinner, or just take some time for yourself - because you deserve it!

ONE WISH AT A TIME MAKE-A-WISH KENTUCKY MAKES LASTING IMPACTS

the foundation’s largest chapter, serving 300 counties across three states. Stephanie McCormick is the chapter’s chief executive officer. Despite the large scale, McCormick and her team stay true to the very first wish, just like the parent foundation. “We have a very simple vision,” she says. “We grant wishes for children with life-threatening critical illnesses. It’s pretty phenomenal what a wish can do.” But what is the true work of Make-A-Wish? Simply put, the team uses funding to create a bright spot in a child’s - and family’s journey through serious illness. From a road trip to starting a YouTube channel, from getting a puppy to giving to the community, Make-A-Wish makes a child’s dream come true at the crucial time when it seems least likely.

And it’s not just a moment of happiness. Statistically, Make-A-Wish children see Writer / Grace Schaefer Christopher’s mother, Linda Pauling, improvements in emotional well-being and Photography Provided saw just how important that experience treatment compliance, and 80% say their was, and knew that the impact could last wish helped them fight their illness. With Stephanie McCormick and her team have a far beyond a single wish. With a group of the local chapter planning to grant 1,200 very special job - they’re professional wish friends, she started a checking account to of these life-changing wishes in fiscal year granters. fund the fulfillment of wishes like her son’s, 2023, McCormick emphasizes that the and the Make-A-Wish Foundation was nonprofit’s criteria for wish-eligible children Their history goes back to 1980, when born.

Indiana aims to reach every child in need. “That’s what we do,” McCormick says. “We are trying to keep it very basic and simple, even though granting a wish is incredibly complex.”

in the case of Nadene, a young woman in Indiana, that impact doesn’t end with the wish child.

“Sometimes kids say, ‘You know, I don’t need a wish,’ or parents say, ‘We don’t need To McCormick, the most important aspect a wish.’ ” McCormick says. “They think that they can afford to do this or to do that on of the foundation is the impact of a wish. their own, [but] it has nothing to do with “There’s nothing more powerful than the money. This has everything to do with the smile of a wish child,” she says. “It’s life transformational, not only for them, but for journey and the experience, so we focus on the family, the wish-granting volunteer and the experience. It has nothing to do with how much money you make or don’t make. the community. The transformation that I have seen in children and their communities We make the magic.” and their families has been incredible. This Still, Nadene turned down the opportunity has been life transformational for me.” three times before, at the age of 16, she made her decision. “Her wish was to “Usually I get asked, ‘What was your favorite wish?’” McCormick adds. “I always have built, at Indiana Dunes, a boardwalk say, ‘The next one, and the next one, and the that goes all the way to the water’s edge, so that people with disabilities that are next one.’ ” in wheelchairs or have a difficult time walking can go put their toes in the water,” But this kindhearted CEO can’t deny the McCormick says. special impact of a particular wish, and

The chapter began work on Nadene’s wish last June. “The community came together in such a huge way that [Make-A-Wish] built the first section of the boardwalk, and the community, in two weeks’ time, raised an additional $100,000 when they heard about her wish, to build the next section,” McCormick says. “They’re going to continue to do that every year until it covers the entire front of the state park. That’s the power of a wish.” But the power didn’t stop there. A mother who attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony brought her 33-year-old,

looking for great volunteer wish granters,” McCormick says. “We’re looking for board members. We’re looking for committee members. We have a young leaders board. We’re always looking for great young leaders who want to get involved in philanthropy.”

When the mother found out about the boardwalk she began to cry, realizing it would be the first time he would be able to put his feet in the water. Even though he was too old to go through the Make-A-Wish program, one selfless wish fulfilled his, and his mother’s, dream. “Now you tell me what kind of power that has,” McCormick says.

Whether donating funds, goods, airline miles, hotel points, vehicles, or taking the time to fulfill a wish as a volunteer, there is an avenue for anyone interested, and any contribution is welcome. “There’s nothing more powerful than the smile of a wish child,” McCormick says. “It is life transformational, so I would ask everyone to join us in that magic.”

Certainly there is great power in a wish fulfilled, not just for the child, but also for anyone and everyone around them - even, in Nadene’s case, fulfilling the wish of another. “That’s what it’s all about,” McCormick says. “It’s the wish that keeps on giving.” The power of the wish isn’t unique to the Make-A-Wish staff. “We’re always
