Carol Perkins: Celebrity sighting leads to booking Joe, the star from Columbia, KY, on "Bachelorette" spotted at Barren River Lodge, has been booked for a guest appearance and even greater stardom on an upcoming "Susan & Carol Unscripted" show. Next earlier Carol Perkins: Watermelon and summer By Carol Perkins If there is a celebrity sighting, I will be nearby. A recent one, however, left me confused and it was Guy's fault. We had gone to Barren River Lodge for Father's Day lunch (along with most of Barren County) and because there were only two of us, we were seated rather quickly.

I starred subtly, glancing off when he glanced my way, and finally leaned toward Guy and said, "Look at the guy sitting at the end of that table." I used my head to indicate direction but he didn't catch on to my attempt to be undercover. "What table?"
