Southern Indiana Town Named One of the 15 Best Small Towns in the Nation
Smithsonian Magazine recently named the best small towns to visit across the U.S. and one Southern Indiana town made the list. There's something quaint and cozy about the feel of a small town. That's why many of us like to take vacations or weekend trips to cabins in remote locations. It's a way to escape the hustle and bustle of the daily grind. Every year Smithsonian Magazine highlights the best of small towns from all across the United States. As Smithsonian says, small towns truly make up the heart of America. These are places where the community will come together to celebrate the history of the area, and where many families live and work, and have done so for generations.

The Best Food Festival in Kentucky is Finger Lickin’ Good
One Kentucky food festival was recently named the best in the state, and it's actually a perfect fit for the Bluegrass State. When you think of Kentucky one of the first things that might pop into your head is fried chicken. The two are synonymous with each other thanks to the fast food giant, Kentucky Fried Chicken. Colonel Harland Sanders, the founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken, is from (and founded KFC) in Laurel County, Kentucky. So naturally, the state of Kentucky would embrace its fried chicken heritage with a big festival, right?
This Strange Hot Dog is the Most Googled in Kentucky
Have you ever tried the most Googled hot dog in Kentucky? I've never even heard of it. It's that time of year when folks will be firing up their grill for cookouts with friends and family, especially with the 4th of July being this week. One of the most popular foods that people make is hot dogs. The hot dogs being made at the July 4th BBQ are almost always straight from the grill to the hot dog bun. Pretty basic, really. Once you have your hot dog, you can choose from whatever condiments are available, and off you go. Personally, I prefer a hot dog with some chili and cheese on top of it. I could eat those all day.

How to Maximize Your Time Off With This Vacation Hack
The Fourth of July conveniently falls on a Thursday this year, providing the workforce of the Commonwealth the perfect opportunity to have a four-day weekend. Independence Day being on a Thursday is better than it being on a Friday or a Monday, in my opinion. It's the perfect set-up for a Thanksgiving-like holiday weekend. (And we'll get to Thanksgiving in a minute.) If you planned accordingly, you have nine days off and are only spending four of your PTO days. If you didn't, well, it's too late for this particular holiday, but not the rest of them.
