A Viewer's Experience with The Plough

I took the DVD to Indiana today to show my parents. While we were shopping, my Dad watched most of it and then I had to take it and he made me PROMISE that I would bring it back. He REALLY enjoyed it. I was so excited for you to see someone appreciate your work!! :) He said it made him proud to be from Kentucky (where he was born). He has lived most of his life in Indiana. Thanks again for giving us these great stories. - Amy Kellem, Bardstown

"The Depot Restaurant" To Be Featured in February Show

Headed to Stanford, Kentucky today to tape a feature segment on the famous "Depot Restaurant" for the February Month in Review episode. Very excited to travel the road from Bardstown through Springfield, Perryville, and Danville. I love driving this route, for some reason I always get a strong sense of the Civil War when headed towards Danville. Perhaps it because one passes through Perryville but the scenery just puts me in mind of the War as there are but few houses along the highway and lots of fields. "The Depot" was featured in this month's edition of Kentucky Living Magazine, though it has been on our list much longer for The Plough! :) My wife grew up in Danville and frequented The Depot with her Grandparents throughout her childhood and she highly recommended the restaurant for a story in The Plough.

Coming to The Plough: Wren Smith, Kentucky Naturalist

I am very excited to have Wren Smith, naturalist at Bernheim Forest, be part of The Plough series. I first saw Wren on television when I was production manager at a TV station in Bardstown. She is so knowledgeable of the outdoors and will be a great addition to the show. She will appear in the February Month in Review edition of The Plough.

Madison Cawein: Kentucky Poet

Madison Cawein was a man, contrary to his first name that is most commonly associated with females, and was a poet from Louisville. He was born March 23, 1865 and died on December 8, 1914. According to Wikipedia, Cawein's father made patent medicines from herbs and Madison thus became acquainted with and developed a love for local nature as a child. He wrote thirty-six books and 1,500 poems and was known as the "Keats of Kentucky." Cawein's poem, "Mid-Winter" is read in the January edition of The Plough, and his words are quite beautiful.
