Gov. and First Lady Beshear at Campbellsville Christmas in July

Gov Andy and First Lady Britainy Beshear were in Campbellsville Friday for Christmas in July bringing toys and gifts to the December 21, 2021 tornado victims. This is part of their tour through Kentucky to help families impacted by the storm.

The First Lady said that after the toy drive was announced, Americans responded with overwhelming generosity. At least 100,000 toys, thousands of shoes and tens of thousands of gift cards were donated in December, sent by families from at least 36 different U.S. states, as far as Alaska.

"The outpouring of generosity means that on top of the Christmas celebrations we were able to host in December with impacted families, we can now also celebrate Christmas in July for these kids who have lost so much but have shown such resilience and strength," the First Lady said.

Phillip Coffey: Cool Seat in the Mountains

By Phillip Coffey

Resting on my stored laurels in the Great Smokey Mountains of Gatlinburg, Tennessee.
View them from my hotel setting, too hot for hiking, entirely for aging, pampered me.
No flowering of perennials along the high ridges observed, much too challenging for me.
May be serpents and other species tempting me, forbidden fruit - it's all about weakened me.

While I was writing my thoughts, a nice, working man from maintenance handed me some cool water.
Maintaining my streaming thoughts of all the good people I've met, many with no powered voice.
Conversing with a smiling, happy man from Honduras doing menial work, eighteen years in Tennessee, totally legal.

Said his son planned to come to America next year with a visa - perhaps he will joyfully see.
Hopefully I find flowering plants and other beauties of nature, totally get over myself - "potted" in a cool seat.
