Happy National Kentucky Day to our four Members in the Bluegrass State. #DidYouKnow 🗸 Known for producing some of the finest racehorses in the world, Kentucky is fittingly home to the most famous horse race. The Kentucky Derby has taken place at Churchill Downs every year since 1875 and averages more than 15 million television viewers each year. 🗸 Commonly known as the Bluegrass State, Kentucky earned its nickname when early settlers took note of the beautiful bluish-purple buds produced by bluegrass in the spring. 🗸 Kentucky was the birthplace of Civil War foes President Abraham Lincoln and Confederate President Jefferson Davis. The two were born less than 100 miles apart. 🗸 Kentucky is the Motherland of Governors, with more than 100 Kentuckians having been elected governor in other states. #WeArePublicPower #PublicPower #Kentucky #KentuckyDay #NationalKentuckyDay #BluegrassState
