Wednesday, September 18 | 7:30 AM | The Silo Event Center

This year’s Community Eye-Opener Breakfast invites you to take the passenger seat on a community-wide road trip—exploring the progress, challenges, and future opportunities that define our region.

Hear directly from mayors, city and county officials, and regional leaders as we navigate through key updates in infrastructure, economic development, quality of life, and civic innovation.

The Revolutionary Threads Exhibit highlights an important aspect of the Revolutionary War soldiers’ wartime experience —what they wore to war. The exhibit illustrates and explains the designs, development, and diversity of the many uniforms worn by the soldiers during the War for Independence. Women patriots are represented as well-- from the women who fought on the battlefield to those who served as nurses, spies, and in domestic capacities. The experiences, ordeals, and service of members of Kentucky’s Gatliff Family demonstrate the difficulties of fighting the war on its western front on the Kentucky frontier and the personal impact on the soldiers and their families. In addition, a display of 20 battle flags represents some of the numerous regiments, militias, and other military units of the 13 colonies. Included are seven life-size mannequins dressed in period attire. Celebrate America's upcoming 250th Anniversary of Independence!
