David BeckGUEST
But we have two facilities.
David BeckGUEST
Uh, we have the Kentucky Exposition Center and, uh, out by the airport, south of Louisville, but also the International Convention Center downtown.
David BeckGUEST
And just in fact, that last year, uh, the International Convention Center had 64 new clients.
David BeckGUEST
Best financial year.
David BeckGUEST
That's economic development, that's growth, that's tourism, that's agriculture, all these industries that help bring about jobs to Kentucky.
David BeckGUEST
Just this last year, the Kentucky Exposition Center was recognized nationally as the busiest convention center in North America.
David BeckGUEST
Who would've thought about that being here in Louisville, Kentucky? And many of our guests, the first time they ever visited Kentucky, the first time they ever visit Louisville may be attending an event on our properties.
David BeckGUEST
And so that's important that we put our best foot forward.
Beowulf RochlenHOST
Voting just got easier for residents of Kentucky's most populous county, who for the first time will be able to cast their ballot on Election Day without leaving their car.
Beowulf RochlenHOST
Jefferson County, home to state capital Louisville, announced this week that it's creating a vote center at the Kentucky Exposition Center, where residents will have the chance to use the more convenient drive-thru option.
Beowulf RochlenHOST
The county touted it as an accessibility win for voters who have disabilities in particular.
Beowulf RochlenHOST
This initiative will expand accessibility for residents with disabilities who may struggle to vote at traditional polling locations.
Phillip FryHOST
Then comes the National Young Bird Show in Louisville, Kentucky on Saturday, October 31st.
Phillip FryHOST
The show is at the Kentucky Exposition Center's West Wing Pavilion, 937 Phillips Lane.
Phillip FryHOST
If you've been wanting to visit a major young bird show, put Louisville on your list.
Phillip FryHOST
For information, visit nationalyoungbirdshow.net. Look up the National Young Bird Show on Facebook or email the show secretary at nybs1972@gmail.com. For our Utah and Southwest listeners, the Salt Lake Premier Show is November 6th and 7th at Desert Peak Complex 2930 Utah Highway 112 in Grantsville.
Evan LindmanHOST
Is it? Do you think the, do you think the Auto Show is bigger than the, um, Expo? I don't know.
Evan LindmanHOST
I mean, a million square feet is what the Kentucky Exposition Center was, and their big deal from trying to find a different place, like Orlando, was ki- was kinda close to it.
Evan LindmanHOST
We were trying to lobby for them to come up to Detroit, but they said, "Oh, Detroit's not..." I think they said Cobo Hall was actually not big enough.
Evan LindmanHOST
They, uh, also talked about Indianapolis, and then I don't know if the...
KruserHOST
That'll get you on the Synergy Home text line, and, uh, the email address is cruiser@wvlkam.com. More than 410,000 fans attended Louder Than Life and Bourbon and Beyond in Louisville.
KruserHOST
That was, uh, the combined, uh, turnstile count for both events that were held at the Kentucky Exposition Center and it generated an estimated $40 million of economic impact to the good for the state.
KruserHOST
Louder Than Life, this was its 12th year with more than 200 bands across seven stages.
KruserHOST
Bourbon and Beyond was held for the eighth year with more than 100 artists on five stages.
Kris KiserGUEST
We're going to rotate into Orlando in 2-0.
Kris KiserGUEST
And so what will happen is because the Kentucky Exposition Center is undergoing a major, major renovation expansion.
Kris KiserGUEST
You'll see it this year, guys.
Kris KiserGUEST
You'll see the new building.
Kris KiserGUEST
And so what will happen is Orlando, because then you have venue opportunities and rooms for those kinds of things.
Kris KiserGUEST
And then in the rotating year, like Louisville, which we want to further develop the outdoors.
Kris KiserGUEST
The Kentucky Exposition Center is a one-of-a-kind, and I mean that, one-of-a-kind facility for folks like us, because they let you get in the dirt.
Kris KiserGUEST
We're going to re-envision how we look at the outdoors.
Mark HalperinHOST
And then, uh, Senator Warnock is at the Texas Tribune Festival at 11:45.
Mark HalperinHOST
Andy Beshear continues on his book tour today, Bourbon and Beyond 2026 at the Highland Festival Grounds at the Kentucky Exposition Center.
Mark HalperinHOST
He's gonna be talking about Kentucky food, bourbon, and culture, and his book.
Mark HalperinHOST
6:00 tonight, Senators Grassley-
Dale HummelHOST
I don't know what it was.
Dale HummelHOST
I assume it's a political battle in some manner, but they changed it from, I think, the Kentucky Agriculture Expo to just the Kentucky Exposition Center.
Dale HummelHOST
Some changes in management at the very top that the governor usually appoints, but I was a little worried they were going to take that a completely another direction and Not saying eliminate the livestock show, but there were some feathers being ruffled over something that none of the exhibitors had anything to do with.
Dale HummelHOST
I'm sure it was political in nature, but people were unsure about what was going to happen down there.
speaker_4UNKNOWN
the whole...
speaker_4UNKNOWN
Oh, wow, like, even above the sign, they have Kentucky Exposition Center, Louisville, Kentucky, and it blocks out the bourbon-
PennyHOST
Yeah
speaker_4UNKNOWN
... part of it.
Kris KiserGUEST
And so that's, again, one of the challenges that we think this rotation now is going to let that.
Kris KiserGUEST
Remember, you know, Kentucky Exposition Center is undergoing a very significant reno and expansion.
Kris KiserGUEST
So once they get the buildings done, you know, it's going to be a five year process.
Kris KiserGUEST
We've got you'll see it when you're there now that the new pavilions largely up.
