Word of mouth still reigns as the most trustworthy recommendation for a movie, hair stylist, piano teacher etc, but organic reviews are a pretty close second. As a Tourism Director I am often combing through a mess of bot generated reviews to see if I can figure out whats going on with a locations wins or losses. Every once in a while I strike gold, and today, I did! I stumbled upon the Trip Advisor reviews of the sweet little Overlook Event Center at the Edgewater Resort. I know personally that Amy (the Edgewater Manager) is awesome. She is a great local advocate, super community oriented, organized, straight-forward and such a force for good, but you always wonder if it gets noticed. Well, girl, it does. Cheers to Amy and her events at the Overlook. I’m so proud to work with you in Spencer County and so proud to show off your reviews to anyone wanting to plan their special events here too.

Hugs,

Spencer County: The Gourd and Flower Capital of the Bluegrass
Nestled in the heart of Kentucky’s rolling hills, Spencer County is where flowers bloom brighter, gourds grow bigger, and every visit feels like a homecoming. Known as the Gourd and Flower Capital of the Bluegrass, this charming county is a haven for gardeners, flower lovers, and anyone who appreciates the beauty of rural life.

I still remember my first visit to Bountiful Blooms Farm. It was a warm June morning, and the fields were alive with color—poppies stretching toward the sky, zinnias dancing in the breeze. I joined a bouquet-making class, and by the end of it, I was laughing with strangers-turned-friends, hands full of petals and heart full of joy. That bouquet sat on my table for 2  weeks, and the memory has lasted eve longer.
