Festival of the Bluegrass | Kentucky Life | KET

KET's Bluegrass music crew, Jubilee, spent several summer days at the Kentucky Horse Park, taping the performances of more than 18 bluegrass bands performing at the Festival of the Bluegrass 2013. With three stages and a campground famous for its jam sessions, the festival received the International Bluegrass Music Association's Event of the Year award in 2007. Dave Shuffett talks with the festival's creators, Bob and Jean Cornett, to find out more about this popular music celebration. It's been a family affair for more than 40 years—the Cornetts began the festival in 1974 at their farm in Fayette County. The festival moved to Masterson Station Park for 14 years before finding its current home at the horse park outside of Lexington. Now retired, the Cornetts have turned over the festival operation to grandson Roy Miller Cornett and his wife, AnnaMarie.
