This week, our feature show is North American International Livestock Show in Louisville, KY. NAILE lamb show is this Saturday, November 13th and is held at the Kentucky Fair & Expo Center.
The entire Novel Designs/Championdrive.com crew will be in Louisville this weekend. Louisville is a town packed with a ton of neat things to take on; we'll keep it brief and list some of the places that need to be on your radar while in Louisville for NAILE. Here’s our short list:
SHEEP SALES -
The Premier Bred Ewe Sale is located in Charlestown, IN, a town only 20 minutes from the Kentucky Fair & Expo Center. If you have nothing to do after checking in your lambs Friday, November 12th, take a drive to Charlestown! The sale starts at 12PM EST and many great bred ewes will be consigned!
RESTAURANTS IN LOUISVILLE -
With the closing of the 5th Quarter, many of you might still be trying to find your next favorite Louisville steakhouse. Here's a few to try:
* Pat's Steakhouse - Voted the best steakhouse in Louisville, but it comes with a price tag. Cash or personal check only. (Link: http://www.patssteakhouselouisville.com/
* Stoney River - Lodge atmosphere http://stoneyriver.com/
* Ruth's Chris - http://www.ruthschris.com/
* Morton's the Steakhouse - Featuring Steak & Seafood Specialties http://www.mortons.com/
A great restaurant in downtown Louisville that's also great for the kids is the Spaghetti Factory.
Lots of great nightlife and restaurants (including the highly recommended Buckhead Mountain Grill) can be found on Bardstown Rd. While many of you may be accustomed to taking in 4th Street in Louisville, Bardstown is an up-and-coming district in Louisville. Lastly, you can always be sure to find more than just a few livestock folk at the Crowne Plaza, just between the expo center and the airport.
RESTAURANTS IN JEFFERSONVILLE -
If you are staying near Jeffersonville, a few to try out include: Rocky's and The Bristol's
ENTERTAINMENT -
In addition to the great restaurants, shops, and entertainment, the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory is one that many of you might be interested in. Hours are M-Sa 9-5 Eastern, and Sunday Noon-5pm. http://www.sluggermuseum.org. Louisville has so many other sights to take in, including the University of Louisville, Churchill Downs, I-Max Theatre, and more.
See you in Louisville!
