  • The Kentucky Derby the Greatest Two Minutes in Sports
    The Kentucky Derby The Greatest Two Minutes in Sports The state of Kentucky is famous for two things: bluegrass and horse racing. Kentucky is called the bluegrass state because of its rich soil and pastures covered in bluegrass. Bluegrass is a kind of grass that horses love to eat. Kentucky has a lot of farms that raise racehorses. The state is also home to one of the most famous horse races—the Kentucky Derby. The racetrack is located in Louisville, Kentucky’s largest city. The race, which takes place each year on the first Saturday in May, is filled with fun events and traditions The Kentucky Derby is often called “The Greatest Two Minutes in Sports” because it only takes two minutes for the horses to run around the track. While the race only lasts for two minutes, the festivities that go along with the Kentucky Derby last much longer than that. 2017 Reading Is Fundamental • Content and art created by Simone Ribke The Kentucky Derby The Kentucky Derby Festival begins two weeks before the race with an event called the Thunder Over Louisville. The Thunder is one of the largest (and loudest) fireworks displays in the country. Next is the Great Balloon Race, in which hundreds of hot air balloons take flight in a colorful display. The balloon race is a crowd favorite and brings spectators from miles around. The next event is The Great Steamboat Race. The race takes place along the Ohio River from Louisville, Kentucky to Jeffersonville, Indiana. While two or three boats usually compete, the race always features the Belle of Louisville, a steamboat built and operated since 1914.

  • BEST FOOD & BEVERAGE PROGRAM Kentucky Derby Festival
    BEST FOOD & BEVERAGE PROGRAM Kentucky Derby Festival (at Thunder Over Louisville and Kroger’s Fest-a-Ville on the Waterfront) a. The Kentucky Derby Festival is a not-for-profit organization which annually produces one of the world’s premiere community celebrations in Louisville, Kentucky. Since 1956, KDF has created fun, excitement, international recognition and a spirit that is unmatched anywhere. Each year in the spring, the Festival produces nearly 70 events during the two weeks leading up to the Kentucky Derby horse race. From Thunder Over Louisville, to the Great Bed Races, BeerFest, BalloonFest, and many, many more events, we bring the Louisville community together in celebration. The civic celebration attracts an estimated 1.5 million people to Louisville each year, while creating an economic impact of over $127 million. None of this could be done without the support of over 400 Corporate Sponsors and 4,000 Volunteers. b. The Kentucky Derby Festival has been working with Concessions by Cox for over 15 years. During the early years of the relationship, Concessions by Cox was simply a third-party vendor that provided dependable work and quality food. But Concessions by Cox has since proven to be much more. In 2011, the Derby Festival put the overall Concessionaire agreement out for bid, and awarded the agreement to Concessions by Cox. After a successful first year, the Derby Festival and Concessions by Cox entered into a 5-year contract. Concessions by Cox now manages our food and beverage program and they bring in multiple third-party vendors to participate. The contract with Cox is more than a written agreement, the contract is a true partnership with a trusted and loyal vendor.

  • Derby Festival's Thunder Over Louisville Emergency Information
    Derby Festival’s Thunder Over Louisville Emergency Information and Action Procedures: - KDF Thunder Emergency Action Plan - KDF Thunder Command Center Internal Emergency Action Plan - KDF Thunder Chow Wagon and Great Lawn Emergency Action Plan - KDF Thunder Emergency Action Plan PA Announcements BEST PUBLIC SAFETY/SECURITY PLAN FOR AN EVENT Thunder Over Louisville/Fest-a-Ville Even though the weather was less than perfect (48-53 degrees, light rain throughout the day), an estimated 500,000 people were attendance for the 2013 Thunder Over Louisville show – the Kentucky Derby Festival’s Opening Ceremonies. As one could imagine, maintaining the safety and security of such a massive crowd every year is an enormous challenge for the Derby Festival and the various local, state and federal law enforcement agencies assigned to the task and current events surely put the planning and preparation to the test. While the potential for serious safety concerns is always present, in light of the timing of the horrific and tragic acts of a few at the finish line of the Boston Marathon a mere 5 days before Thunder and the overall Kentucky Derby Festival, all partners involved with the safety planning were on high alert as we reviewed all aspects of the plans. Based on the comprehensive nature and ever evolving plan, very few changes were made as the Festival approached. Additional bomb detection equipment, plain clothes units, observation towers and camera banks feeding real time digital imaging to the unified Emergency Operations Command (EOC) were just a few of the tweaks that were made. With hundreds of thousands of people in attendance for Thunder Over Louisville, the fireworks and air show is now recognized as the largest single-day, open-air venue in the United States.

  • Louisville Stations Tap Wheatstone for Aoip by David Callan 9 Days Ago
    Louisville Stations Tap Wheatstone for AoIP By David Callan 9 days ago LOUISVILLE, Ky.—The newsroom at WDRB TV 41 and WBKI TV 58 in Louisville, Ky., has been getting quite a workout lately. In a normal week, we produce more than 58 hours of live and local news. At the height of the civil rights protests in June, we were doing back-to-back coverage for five-six hours at a time with reporters embedded with protesters in the hot zones while conducting live interviews on Zoom, Skype and FaceTime. Already, our new Strata 32 audio board from Wheatstone was easily juggling dozens of feeds at once and bouncing from one newscaster or reporter to the next—some reporting remotely—due to the pandemic. TIMING IT JUST RIGHT The Wheatstone Strata 32 is our first AoIP console, purchased months prior to the events of 2020 after a Wheatstone D8 TDM routed console gave us years of service. We didn’t make a conscious decision to go IP; we just simply decided to go with the next generation of audio mixing available. It was really a stroke of luck that we made the transition to a fully IP audio-networked board when we did. What we liked about the board right away was that it packed a lot of capability into a compact frame. It has dedicated faders for eight subgroups and two masters along with 32 physical faders that can be layered for 64 channels, all in a 40-inch frame with a central touchscreen interface. The Strata 32 puts all the controls on the surface and uses the Gibraltar IP Mix Engine for networking, which handles digital signal processing.
