Kentucky Artisan Center at Berea Welcomes its 2 Millionth Visitor
Berea, KY – At 2:15 p.m. on Friday, May 11, the Kentucky Artisan Center at Berea welcomed its 2 millionth visitor, Jennifer Price, from Louisville. Jennifer was traveling on Interstate -75 with her husband, James, and their three young children, Madeline, David and Julianna. Marcheta Sparrow, secretary of the Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet, was on hand to present a Kentucky gift basket to Jennifer and her family.
“Celebrating the success of the Kentucky Artisan Center at Berea is a great way to cap off National Travel and Tourism Week,” said Sparrow, who announced earlier in the week that tourism had an economic impact of nearly $11.7 billion during 2011 in Kentucky.
The Prices said this was the family’s second visit to the Kentucky Artisan Center at Berea.
