Chapter 26- The Kentucky Derby

No book about the Commonwealth of Kentucky would be complete without a reference to The Kentucky Derby. Chuck had his own Kentucky Derby experiences as we’ll read in this chapter of “Life Behind the Counter-the Story of Chuck Evans and his Liquor Stores.”. In this chapter, you will read about:

  • the generosity of the Brown-Forman company, a Louisville based company that is a great corporate citizen.
  • an inside look at a tour of the Woodford Reserve Distillery.
  • some surprising news about Early Times whiskey.
  • how Hart Co., Kentucky made it into the Derby Day festivities.
  • a racing tip from the Governor of Kentucky that paid off.

Chuck loved thoroughbred racing and The Kentucky Derby. You’ll enjoy reading these stores from Churchill Downs! In my next chapter preview, I will tell you about Chuck’s favorite vacation destination, a place that was illegal to travel to. Thanks so much for following!
