 The Evan Williams Bourbon Experience, a cornerstone of Whiskey Row’s renaissance in Downtown Louisville, filled the 1,000th barrel on February 1, 2018. The artisanal distillery reached this milestone after producing one barrel per day since production began in September 2013, compared to the 1,300 barrels produced per day at Heaven Hill Distillery’s Bernheim Facility. The multi-million dollar artisanal distillery, immersive tour experience and retail location celebrates the legacy of Evan Williams, Kentucky’s first distiller, and is the first official stop on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail.
As the first distillery to re-open on Whiskey Row, the Evan Williams Bourbon Experience celebrates the heritage and craft of American Whiskey distilling in Louisville. “When the Evan Williams Bourbon Experience opened in 2013, a unique, innovative experience was created where Bourbon fans, historians, and visitors alike could enjoy our nation’s spirit,” said Heaven Hill President Max L. Shapira. “We are proud to celebrate filling 1,000 barrels at our artisanal distillery with the City of Louisville and look forward to sharing product from the first barrels when they mature.”

 Laissez les Bon Temps Rouler at Kentucky Opera’s 2018 Carnevale!
Attendees enjoyed Mardi Gras in Louisville! This event is a fundraiser for Kentucky Opera. Revelers support programs such as
Kentucky Opera's OH FREEDOM!--a musical journey through the cultural history of African Americans from pre-slavery to modern times.
|
 “Figaro! Figaro! Figaro!”
Even if you haven’t seen it live, you already know its famous music from cartoons and contemporary culture. The Kentucky Opera concludes its 2017-2018 season with the Barber of Seville. Determined to win the heart of the beautiful and feisty Rosina, Count Almaviva enlists the help of Figaro, the intrepid barber of Seville, to steal her away from her curmudgeonly guardian, who wants to marry her himself!
The clever barber instigates a barrage of merry misunderstandings, dubious disguises, and double-crossings galore to ensure that true love triumphs after all!
The opera will be performed in Italian with English supertitles

 $5 February Returns for Four “Museum Row” Attractions
Frazier
History Museum, Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory, the Muhammad Ali
Center, and the Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts to offer $5 deals for
locals
The Muhammad Ali Center, Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory, Frazier
History Museum, and the Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts – all partners
in downtown Louisville’s Museum Row on Main -- are teaming up to offer $5 deals
for Kentucky and Indiana residents throughout February. The Ali Center,
Slugger, and Frazier museums will be offering $5 admission rates to locals
throughout the month, and patrons of the Kentucky Center’s SCENE at the Center
will receive a $5 off restaurant orders of $50 or more.
Frazier
History Museum: The Frazier History Museum is where the world meets
Kentucky and in February it’s through outstanding exhibits and exciting
programs. Family Gathering: Linda Bruckheimer’s Kentucky celebrates
the beautiful, heartbreaking, sometimes funny and always authentic photography
of acclaimed photographer and native Kentuckian, Linda Bruckheimer. The Lewis
& Clark Experience takes guests on an immersive and educational journey
with the Corp of Discovery. A Valentine’s Day themed Second Saturday
program on February 10th tackles candy, cards and other crazy Feb’
14 traditions and on February 23rd our 25,000 Toy Soldiers come
alive with a curated conversation and cocktail event celebrating W.Britain’s
125 years in the Toy Soldier business.
Muhammad
Ali Center: In January, the Ali Center began major renovations on its
Lobby and Retail Store, both of which will provide the Center the opportunity
to deliver a better overall visitor experience and more contemporary private
event space. Additionally, the much needed upgrades will offer a fresh and
modern appearance to its retail store, while also supplying better
functionality. A major part of the overall improvements will be a custom
designed terrazzo floor in the Main Lobby, which will present a striking and
welcoming impression upon entering the Center, and providing better durability
for this high traffic area. During this estimated 3-month renovation period,
guests must enter and exit the Center at the street-level Group Entrance.
Visitors will still have access to the Center’s award-winning exhibits and can
still expect an excellent museum experience during Black History Month and
beyond.
Louisville
Slugger Museum & Factory: February marks the final
month of Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory’s exhibit, Ali & Aaron:
United in The Fight. Muhammad Ali and Hank Aaron were both titans of the
American sports scene, and have much in common as heroes who endured racism and
faced down challenges with conviction. The original art installation explores
the historic role both played in the fight for civil rights, and inspires
guests to examine their own convictions and beliefs.
All
three attractions are also members of Museum Row on Main,
which offers seven exciting attractions within four blocks of Downtown
Louisville’s historic Main Street. In addition to the $5 February promotion,
Museum Row on Main partners offer $1 off admission to guests who show a ticket
stub from another member museum that charges admission. A deeply discounted
combo admission called The Main Ticket is also available. For more information
about the Main Ticket, click
here or to purchase your package, click

The
Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts: Before enjoying a
performance at The Kentucky Center, celebrate the culinary arts at SCENE at
the Center! The Kentucky Center’s small plates eatery offers bar and
food service two hours prior to most performances in Whitney Hall and the
Bomhard Theater. Throughout February, just mention “Museum Row on Main” and
receive $5 off orders of $50 or more. Take a look at SCENE’s menu here.

 Public Health and Wellness Offering Free Class Series to Prevent Diabetes
The Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness will
sponsor a free 16-week class series, PreventT2, to help people prevent
or delay the onset of Type 2 diabetes.
Classes begin on Friday, January
19 at 11:30 a.m. and will be held for one hour each Friday at the South
Louisville Community Center at 2911 Taylor Boulevard from January 19 until May
4. For more information or to enroll, call (502) 574-6663 or email andrea.doughty@louisvilleky.gov.
PreventT2 is designed to
help people with prediabetes make relatively small lifestyle changes that can
prevent or delay the onset of full-blown Type 2 diabetes and its devastating
health consequences such as heart disease, kidney failure, stroke and
blindness. It is estimated that one out three people in the United States has
prediabetes and ninety percent of them don’t know they have it.
Those most at risk for prediabetes
include those who:
-
are age 45 or older
- are overweight
- have a family history of Type 2 diabetes
- get little physical activity
- have had gestational diabetes
- have given birth to a baby who weighed more than 9
pounds.
If you fall into even one of these
categories, you should seriously consider taking this course.
PreventT2 participants
will work with trained lifestyle coaches on activities proven to help lose
weight, eat more nutritiously and become more physically active. PreventT2 groups meet for a year, weekly for
the first 6 months and then once or twice a month for the next six months to
maintain healthy lifestyle changes.
PreventT2 is part of the
CDC’s (Center for Disease Control and Prevention) National Diabetes Prevention
Program. Public Health and Wellness has partnered with the Kentuckiana Regional
Planning & Development Agency (KIPDA) to offer the course in Louisville.
