It was fun to stop by the Kentucky Fun Mall and roam around inside. Lots of Kentucky-themed items to purchase. Adam helped us with our purchases and info. Nice murals outside.

Cocaine Bear is now out of the back of the truck and lower to the ground, with a chair in front of him in case you want to sit for your selfie. Today he also had a Christmas tree standing next to him.
