Dorothy said it best, “There’s no place like home.” While she may well have been referring to Kansas, we happen to think there’s no place like Kentucky. We love the Bluegrass State and count ourselves lucky each and every day that this beautiful place is ours. Whether we’re returning home from a vacation or simply commuting to work, there’s no better sight in the world than the “Welcome to Kentucky” sign.

Rolling hills and horse pastures, charming towns and welcoming cities, scenic beauty for days -- this is the Bluegrass State.

Some of us commute across the river for work each day. At 5 p.m., despite the clog of rush hour, there's nothing better than returning over the bridge, back to the Bluegrass State, and seeing a Kentucky state line sign.
