It was an honor representing the Homeplace 18050s Working Farm at this gathering of the Kentucky Folklife Program. We're excited to be helping with their effort to start up a Kentucky Folklife NetworkYesterday the KFP's Kentucky Folklife Network team headed up by folklorist Nicole Musgrave conducted our fourth and final regional meeting in Paducah. We were hosted by Betty Dobson, the Director of the Uppertown Heritage Foundation, who spearheaded the renovation and helps to interpret the Hotel Metropolitan, an African American Museum that shares story of this region. It was a grand treat to hear Ms. Dobson share the story of this hotel, the area's sole hotel available to to African-Americans throughout most of the 20th century. So much great sharing with interested community partners took place as we are envisioning what our planned Folklife Network online presence will look like in the months to come. Thanks too to our partner, Kentucky Arts Council's Folk and Traditional Arts Director Mark Brown for being there with his great insights. Thank you Betty and Paducah friends. Do visit the Hotel Metropolitan on your next visit to Paducah! Hotel Metropolitan Western Kentucky University WKU Potter College of Arts & Letters WKU Folk Studies Brent Bjorkman
