Thunder Over Louisville has been rated as one of the top 100 events in North America, and I'm proud to say that it takes place right here in my home town. If you've never been to Thunder, it's always a great event for the entire family. There's a huge celebration on Waterfront Park with food, music, one of the top 5 airshows in the nation, and of course the most incredible fireworks show I have ever seen. On today's show I mentioned several things you need to know if you plan to go to the Waterfront for today's show. Here's a recap:
FREE, but you do need a 2012 Pegasus pin for entrance to North Waterfront park and the Chow Wagon. They are $5.00 and good for all of the Kentucky Derby Festival Events including 88.5 WJIE's Celebration Sunday Concert featuring Building 429, Chris Sligh, and Jonny Diaz.
