FAME for a Day - a full day (six hours) of fun. Learn about five FAMOUS Kentucky Christians who each had very challenging childhoods that they overcame as they pressed into their Christian faith. Play games inspired by their lives. Make and take home crafts. See puppet shows. Enjoy the walking trail in the arboretum and picnic among the trees. This adventure is good if you have a minimum of 20 participants and costs $10/person. Call 859-987-5407 to schedule when your group can come.

Each option introduces you to the stories of famous Kentuckians from the past who gave public credit to their Christian faith for their successes. Their lives are powerful to envision today's children to do great things for God's glory. These are people like Harland Sanders, Elisha Green, Mary Britton and Lottie Moon. They are athletes, poets, presidents, journalists, pilots, divers, homemakers, entrepreneurs, suffragettes, teachers and missionaries. Stories of thirty of these famous Kentuckians are told in the eye-spy game that is spread around the half-mile walking trail at the Kentucky Faith & Public History Education Project. They are also found in the Famous Kentucky Christians Club series of easy-reader chapter books. Our website has links that can take you to more information about many of these famous people here.
