The Kentucky Derby Festival and the Kentucky Beef Council are looking for the next Derby Burger Champion, with hamburger recipes being accepted for submission through early April. This is a new addition to the Kentucky Derby Festival lineup, only in its second year, but it already has a strong following. Last year’s recipes ranged from spicy diablo burgers to mango chili concoctions, and since samples will be available to the public, everyone except for vegetarians are likely to enjoy the outcome.

Derby Burger Challenge fi nalists will be

announced on April 4th and the winner will be selected on April 8th. The winning burger recipe will be prominently featured as the Local Legendary Burger at Hard Rock Café Louisville in April and May, recognized in Louisville-area and Lexington-area Kroger stores, and be featured as samples at the Kentucky Derby Festival’s new BeerFest. The winner will also receive VIP tickets to Thunder Over Louisville and a concert at Kroger’s Fest-a-Ville, as well as a $100 gift certifi cate to Kroger and a grilling package from Kentucky Beef Council.

From March 11 to April 24, all purchasers

of fresh ground beef at any of the Kentuckiana Kroger stores (including Lexington locations) will receive a message at checkout (on the bottom of the receipt). The message includes an entry code to

register for a chance to win VIP tickets to a Kroger’s Fest-a-Ville Concert.

Of those recipes entered into the

contest, four burgers will be selected as fi nalists by a panel of judges based on the descriptions submitted online. The fi nalists will then be required to provide four samples of their burgers for live tasting by the judges on Monday, April 8, on WDRB in the Morning. The winning burger will be selected by the judges. More importantly, after the judges have had their fi ll, visitors to and residents of Louisville will then have the chance to taste it themselves up through May, and the recipe will be provided online for even non-creative chefs to recreate a taste of Louisville at home.

For a fi rst taste of the Derby Burger

Competition winner, visitors should attend another new Kentucky Derby Festival tradition, the Kentucky Derby BeerFest. The event will be held May 1st from 5 pm - 9 pm, with beer tasting sessions featuring regional craft beers. Tickets are $35 and include beer tastings, sampling beer mug, a BeerFest pin, and, of course, the opportunity to sample this year’s best Bluegrass burger.

For a peek at last year’s winning recipe (a

bourbon, pear, bacon, and brie burger), see our website at www.whigl.com.

Derby Burger Champion


Art●Music ●Theatre ●Entertainment

On April 13th, visitors to French Lick Resort in Southern Indiana will be treated to the vocal stylings of one of the most iconic vocal groups in the history of American R&B and pop, The Temptations. The group’s songs of social change, politics, and romance have earned them more than thirty top ten and number one hits, and their precision choreography coupled with rich harmonies, distinct vocals, and musical versatility have cemented their place in music history.

Of the original band, only one member—Otis Williams—remains, but the reconstituted group retains all the energy, enthusiasm, and dedication of the original silk-clad singers. While maintaining their smooth harmonies, the group interacts with their audiences to ensure that they relive memories of earlier times, including asking the audience to sing along with familiar choruses. The lineup is introduced individually with personalized dance routines and musical introductions, demonstrating their individualized talents and personalities.

The Temptations have been around for more than forty years at this point, and have gone through multiple incarnations as a band, to say nothing of personnel changes. Before signing on to Motown Records in the early sixties, they were known fi rst as The Elgins, then as The Primes, before ultimately taking on the name The Temptations. Known for hit songs such as “My Girl,” “Papa was a Rollin’ Stone,” “Cloud 9,” “Get Ready,” and “Ain’t too Proud to Beg,” the

band originally consisted of Otis Williams, Melvin Franklin, Eldridge Bryant, Eddie Kendricks, and Paul Williams, and today includes Otis Williams, Ron Tyson, Terry Weeks, Joe Herndon, and Bruce Williamson. They’re still being honored for their musical talents today; in 2004, Rolling Stone ranked The Temptations number 67 on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time, and in 2013, they received the Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award.

Despite their long history, however, The Temptations aren’t resting on their laurels. In 2010 they put out their most recent CD, “Still Here,” a concept album that chronicles their history from the present day back to their earliest Motown roots. The songs on “Still Here” are reminiscent of the aesthetics that decades ago made them a household name. Starting with the contemporary "Change has Come" and followed by the smooth urban groove "One of a Kind Lady," a classic R&B/pop ballad "Still Here with Me," the socially edgy "Listen Up," the retro-style hit "Soul Music," and ending with "Going Back Home," this album stays true to the heart of The Temptations while expanding their style. The group will perform selections from “Still Here” alongside their older hits at the French Licks concert.

The concert will be held at French Lick Resort, 8670 West State Road 56, in French Lick, Indiana on April 13th from 8-9:30 pm. Tickets are $40-$105, and can be purchased by calling 888-936-9360.

The PBR “Built Ford Tough Series”

With some of the fi ercest bulls and bravest riders on the planet, the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) are bucking their way into the heart of Louisville with their “Built Ford Tough Series.” This is the PBR’s premier tour, which includes 31 events across the country every year. Pyrotechnics, pulsating music, and special effects open each event, and each features the top 30 riders in the world at the time (along with 10 alternates). While the season culminates in Las Vegas, where the PBR World Finals are held, Louisville is one of the last southern stops before the tour heads out west.

During the event, riders attempt

to stay on a bucking bull for eight seconds. Rides are judged based on both the rider's and the bull's performance, with two judges scoring the rider and two scoring the bull. At the end of each event, the top fi fteen riders compete in the short round, or "short go;" the rider with the highest point total from the entire event becomes the winner. Both winning

riders and champion bulls from the last several years—including the legendary rider, Silvano Alves, and prize-winning bull, Bushwacker—will compete for glory in the KFC Yum! Center arena.

These highly-paid bull riders are

not only competing for the coveted Championship Buckle, but also the $1 million bonus awarded to the winner. As the largest tour of the PRB, the “Built Ford Tough Series” has awarded more than $100 million in prize money, with more than $10 million being awarded annually. The prize money available is so extensive that two-time World Champion Justin McBride has earned more than any other western sports athlete in history.

The event will be held on April 13

and 14, at 8 pm on Saturday and 2 pm on Sunday. Tickets are available for both events or for individual days. Prices range from $18 to $105 dollars for single-day tickets. Tickets can be purchased through Ticketmaster.

Some of the highlights include the Lego Model Museum (plenty of cool photo opportunities with miniature and life-sized models built entirely from Lego bricks), the Lego Club and Master Builder Academy (exciting ways for kids to learn skills that make them better builders, while teaching them the fundamentals of design, engineering, and art), the Lego Activity Area and Lego Challenge Zone (with trivia, games, contests, and competitions), Creation Nation (with opportunities to build a unique Lego creation that will be added to a huge map of built objects across the United States), and the perennial favorite, the “Big Brick Pile”—which is exactly what it sounds like.

All activities are included in the price of

admission. The Lego KidsFest is structured to include multiple sessions each day to better accommodate the crowds. Each of the sessions offers the same interactive activities and play areas, so no one session is better than another to

attend. Friday April 5th will host one session from 4 - 8:30 pm, while Saturday and Sunday both include two sessions, the fi rst session from 9 am – 1:30 pm and the second from 3 pm – 7:30 pm.

The Lego KidsFest goes well with the “Big

Leagues, Little Bricks” exhibition at the Louisville Slugger Museum, though the two shows are not affi liated. This original exhibition at the Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory features amazing sculptures, portraits, and stadium replicas all built with Lego bricks. “Big Leagues, Little Bricks” runs through September 2, and the exhibit is included in the general admission price for the museum.

“Big Leagues, Little Bricks” showcases renowned

artist Sean Kenney, one of only thirteen Lego-certifi ed professionals in the world. Kenney’s pieces in “Big Leagues, Little Bricks” include hip portraits of baseball superstars, dynamic conceptual sculptures of iconic baseball moments, and a show-stopping replica of historic Wrigley Field. Another awesome piece on display is a replica of Miller Park, home of the Milwaukee Brewers, built by artist Tim Kaebisch. The Miller Park creation utilizes over 35,000 Lego bricks and has a retractable roof that actually moves.

Along with the stunning artwork, the exhibition

also provides a hands-on opportunity for guests to build their own art from Legos. In addition to the “Big League, Little Bricks” display, admission to the museum includes interactive exhibits, a short feature fi lm, historic memorabilia, the World’s Biggest Baseball Bat, and an award-winning factory tour. The Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory is open Monday-Friday 9 am - 5 pm and Saturday 11 am - 5 pm. Adults $11, seniors (60+) $10, kids (6-12) $6, kids 5 and under free.

The Kentucky Derby, held the fi rst Saturday in May, is one of the most exciting times to visit Louisville. But the Kentucky Derby isn’t just a horse race, it’s also a good excuse for racing fans to gather together at elaborate parties that are held annually in Louisville a few weeks prior to, and on the day of, the actual race. And the best news is, you don’t have to live in Kentucky or even place a bet to celebrate this event! Though it may seem far away, now is the time to start preparing for the big event.

Over its 138-year history, the Kentucky

Derby has amassed dozens of traditions that Churchill Downs' employees, jockeys, and millions of Derby fans worldwide hold dear. From the iconic Twin Spires that overlook the track's famous homestretch to the potent mint juleps that infuse Derby Day with "spirit," traditions are an important part of the Derby experience.

One of the most enduring traditions of

the Kentucky Derby and its sister event, the Kentucky Oaks, is that they’re sports parties showcasing the fi nest in spring fashions. Both female and male attendees pull out all the stops when selecting their Kentucky Derby and Oaks apparel. A Derby hat should be top priority for anyone thinking of attending the race, or even watching it as part of an at-home celebration.

Of course, if you’re planning to celebrate

at home, you’ll need to prepare all the food associated with the Derby. The historic libation of the day is a mint julep, made with Kentucky bourbon (see our website, www.whigl.com, for the offi cially-sanctioned recipe). If you’re making juleps, you’ll need to stock up on ice, mint, and bourbon.

Derby pie, burgoo, the hot brown sandwich,

and Benedictine—for those not hailing from the Bluegrass state, these dishes may be unfamiliar, but you’d expect to sample most of them when celebrating this traditional day. Many local restaurants offer Derby and Oaks Day specials, but it’s imperative to get a reservation as early as possible, especially at historic locations such as the Brown (which invented the hot brown).

For those visitors planning to make a

weekend of it, fi nding a place to stay in town may be diffi cult. Hotels are often booked months in advance, so more accessible alternatives may include house-rental companies such as VIP Rental Homes. They’re currently offering Oaks/Derby packages, and can be contacted at 502-632-1771.

Every year, the Kentucky Derby’s nation of

fans looks forward to observing these storied rituals leading up to the "Greatest Two Minutes in Sports," but if you don’t start getting ready now, you run the very real risk of being left behind!
