Gov. Beshear receives Adair crafted tobacco stick pen Fred and Peggy Spoon give pen to Gov. at 2009 Derby Breakfast Click on headline for full story with photo Artist Fred Spoon presented Governor Steve Beshear with one of Spoon's handcrafted tobacco leaf/tobacco stick pens at the Governor's Derby Derby Breakfast in Frankfort, Saturday, May 2, 2009. The pen is especially engraved with the Governor's name on it. Spoon and wife Peggy Spoon, Egypt, KY, took their Pens to Remember exhibit to the Derby Breakfast for the second year in a row.

The tobacco leaf and stick came from Eddie Hutchison's Farm in the Egypt community. 2009-05-06 20:20:58 | Comments | Printable version

Letter: The Bottle Tree at Tucker's Station To ColumbiaMagazine.com: I have just never been a white bread kind of girl - if everybody else has it I don't want it. I am fascinated by anything that is different. Case in point the Bottle Tree at Tucker's Station - when I planted it last fall I didn't have any idea that it would bear fruit by this spring. This is the most amazing tree I have ever grown. When the bottles ripen they fall off. It's kinda like a coconut, the outside of the fruit is hard and inedible but the inside is filled with a delicious fruity flavored drink. Three more bottles came off this morning and I can't wait to taste them. s/Barbara Armitage 2009-05-06 09:21:11 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
