FROM CORVETTES TO OUTHOUSES

Recipe from Kentucky Down Under included in The Kentucky Cookbook!!!

Author and Kentucky native Pam Whinnery will be signing her Celebrity Cookbooks this weekend, Saturday, June 30 at the Horse Cave, KY Book Fest 2012, along with over 100 authors from across the nation. Whinnery’s book signing of both her Kentucky and Tennessee cookbooks is serving as a fundraiser for the Kentucky Repertory Theatre.

Now in its sixth printing the cookbook, “Favorite Recipes of Kentucky Celebrities” is a celebration of all things Kentucky. It not only has recipes from famous celebrities such as Bill Monroe, Ashley Judd, and magician Lance Burton, but recipes from various historical locations, tourist attractions, and unique Kentucky celebrations.

The bestselling author has had the opportunity to participate in several of these incredible celebrations. Joe Pruitt, organizer of the National Corvette Homecoming ask her to do a book signing at the event as a fundraiser for the Bowling Green Chapter of the American Cancer Society. The Annual Homecoming is in Bowling Green, which is the home of the only Corvette plant in the world and the National Corvette Museum.

Probably the most unusual and fun event is the Annual Great Outhouse Blowout Race held at Penn’s Store in Gravel Switch, KY (near Danville). The September event is carried live on ESPN. The celebration first started in 1992 as an Outhouse Dedication Ceremony at America's oldest country store, still in ownership and operation by the same family since 1845. The historic '92 event included performances by Chet Atkins and Bill Edd Wheeler. Dawn Lane Osborn, granddaughter of Alma 'Tincy' Penn invited Pam to do a book signing as a fundraiser for Penn’s Store and its OUTHOUSE, which are listed on the National Registry of Historic Places, a Kentucky Historical Landmark, and a Kentucky Centennial Business.

Her second cookbook “Country Goodness Recipes of Tennessee Celebrities,” which is in its third printing has recipes from Reese Witherspoon, Elvis, & basketball legend Lionel Hollins. The cookbook was part of a book signing by the author and John Carter Cash at the 40^th Annual Museum of Appalachia Fall Homecoming. This celebration is honoring Appalachian Folk life through music and crafts.

Come join the fun this Saturday, 10am-6pm at Horse Cave, KY.

CORVETTES CONQUER CANCER

30TH NATIONAL

CORVETTE HOMECOMING

July 16th will be the 30th Anniversary of the National Corvette Homecoming. It takes place at Sloan Convention Center in Bowling Green, KY. Bowling Green is the home of the one and only Corvette assembly plant.

They are having an iconic display of Corvettes from each and every year produced at the Bowling Green plant. 1981-2011.

Joe Pruitt Director of the Homecoming just announced that leading off the 30-car display would be the very FIRST production Corvette off the line at Bowling Green. VIN #00001 will be unveiled at the Meet & Greet and will be on display to celebrate its very own 30th Birthday. But not to be left out, for this very rare occasion only, they will also have the LAST Corvette off the St Louis assembly line as well! Both of these cars have no miles and look like they've been in a time capsule for all these years.

Isn’t this amazing! And I get to be a part of it! Joe contributed a recipe to the cookbook “Favorite Recipes of Kentucky Celebrities.” He has invited me to do a book signing for a special event they are having “Corvettes Conquer Cancer.”

AS always, I am donating 50% of the proceeds from the book signing to the fundraiser for the Bowling Green Chapter of the American Cancer Society.

I love what I get to do and participate in with my book signings.

Come join the fun!
