The votes are in and the readers of Kentucky Living have chosen the 2020 winners in the magazine’s 11th Annual Best in Kentucky awards with Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area winning one category.
Each year, officials say Kentucky Living invites readers to cast their votes for hometown favorites in 25 categories, ranging from destinations and food to outdoor activities and beverages. The winners are then published in the September issue of the magazine, the flagship publication of Kentucky’s electric cooperatives.
LBL, Golden Pond in Trigg County was the winner of the best Hunting or Fishing Spot category and placed second in the best Camping Spot category, while Kentucky Lake in Marshall and Calloway counties placed second in the best Houseboating Lake category.
The winners were announced Thursday during a special virtual awards show hosted by Heather French Henry and sponsored by Cave City Tourism. Because of pandemic safety concerns, officials with the magazine said the awards show transitioned from its traditional venue at the Kentucky State Fair to the virtual format, featuring presenters at locations across the Commonwealth.
