The hall of sponsors

Unpaid. Unsolicited. Beloved.

Every "advertiser" this site has, in one place. Nobody pays us; most of them don't know we exist (the lawyers, the moonbow, and two shops in Kenwick have been notified). They're just places and things we genuinely love, honored in the ancient format of the small-town radio spot.

Unpaid sponsorWilson's MarketKenwick's corner grocery, deli counter included. Owner-operated by a certified Rad Dad — the sandwiches carry full neighborhood clearance.

Unpaid sponsorWildlingsThe bookstore attached to Wilson's, captained by a certified Rad Mom. Road-trip books, young readers, excellent opinions.

Unpaid sponsorFlat Lick FallsA waterfall with its own swimming pool. Jackson County's finest amenity.

Unpaid sponsorAle-8-OneKentucky's soft drink since 1926 — a century old this year and still not telling anyone the recipe.

Unpaid sponsorRabbit Hash General StoreServing the public since 1831. Current management: a dog.

Unpaid sponsorThe Indian StaircaseAncient stone steps, modern quad workout. Red River Gorge's original StairMaster.

Unpaid sponsorVent Haven MuseumNine hundred ventriloquist dummies, zero of whom will comment for this website.

Unpaid sponsorThe FrostyetteSand Gap's soft-serve landmark. If you know, you know; if you don't, now you do.

Unpaid sponsorBloomfield, KentuckyA town. A very pleasant one. That's it, that's the ad.

Unpaid sponsorPatti's 1880's SettlementGrand Rivers' two-inch pork chops and flowerpot bread. Worth the tank of gas.

Unpaid sponsorHu-B's at KuttawaLake burgers you can boat to. The dock is the parking lot.

Unpaid sponsorThe Tiki Turtles at Green Turtle BayLake Barkley's floating tiki bar — also boat-accessible, obviously.

Unpaid sponsorClark + Harris, PLLCA full-service Lexington law firm that had nothing to do with this website's legal pages. (It had everything to do with them.)

Unpaid sponsorGarmer & PratherLexington injury lawyers. Jay Prather is from Somerset, loves Lake Cumberland, and has still never seen the moonbow.

Unpaid sponsorKYMoonbow.comOur sibling site: obsessive moonbow forecasting for Cumberland Falls. Tonight's odds, computed with unreasonable care.

Think something deserves a fake sponsorship? Nominations to the management. Payment will not be accepted. That's the whole point.
