B word in this state, butthis is the American Whiskey Festival. And
so tell me what all this envelopes. It's very very purposeful with that the

title, because it's kind of anexpansion of what Watchill Proppers about. With
their location, they are Norton Commons, opening the doors up into the outside
courtyard the North Village Square. WatchillProper. Their specialty, their pride is
there the world's largest selection of Americanwhiskey. So that includes a lot of
(02:25):
bourbon, of course, but that'sthey take pride in that there's no tequila
or vodka or anything in there.It is a place for whiskey lovers.
Okay, So we talk about acouple of days of this or one day.
What are we talking about? Well, one day this year, we'll
see about next year. So Saturday, from three to ten, we are
(02:47):

it's open for everybody out in thecourtyard. There's a beautiful brick courtyard
with a pretty fountain there. Wehave a bunch of food trucks, tons
of different types of drinks, andsomething I've never seen before is we're bringing
some barrels out so you can doexperience for containing a candle straight from a
(03:13):
barrel. And then you know myspecialty, my favorite is we've booked all
local music. We have music everyTuesday and Thursday. We watch all proper
And since we've been doing that,I've been keeping an eye used everybody's favorite
as far as the staff and patrons, and so we even vited our favorites
to bring their full bands for kindof a more festival performance. So we've
got Derby City Dandies, Drew Crawley, Billy Lord, Sweet g and the
(03:37):
Shine and Radiotronic to close out thenight. But something that that is a
cool addition that we're so happy aboutis the Whiskey Garden. It's a property
right next to the courtyard. We'vegot just a tenth city out there,
twenty one different distillery tents, someof the some parage distilleries and then some
(03:57):
like Kevin's Store and Jeffersons and alots of others. I mean, we've
got twenty different distilleries in your home, bringing different expressions, get a lot
of different types. I'm getting alittle bit of break up on your phone
roll. But what you're saying,as santily is though a lot of flavors,

other than the free music area,if you want to go in the Whiskey
(04:20):
