In Kentucky, “The Strawberry Festival at The Cottage” in Owensboro, KY is shaping up to be one of the most fun events of the summer season for 2026! Held June 13 and 14 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., this lively festival fills the grounds with more than 150 vendors, food trucks, and family fun. The smell of fresh strawberries and sweet treats like shortcake and pies fills the air while you stroll past booths selling crafts, gifts, and local goods. Live music and entertainment play throughout the day as crowds gather to enjoy the relaxed country setting. Kids can meet animals at the petting zoo, ride ponies, bounce on inflatables, or get their faces painted. A classic car show adds even more to see, with polished cars lined up for judging. With shopping, food, music, and fresh berries everywhere, it’s a full day of summer fun. #Kentucky #kentuckylife #kentuckyliving #owensboroky

Kentucky’s retail shakeup: What’s closing next?

Big changes are hitting Kentucky’s shopping scene in 2026, and it’s more than just a few empty storefronts. Discount staples like Big Lots are pulling out of Lexington, Louisville, and western towns, leaving folks with fewer affordable options for furniture and basics. In Louisville’s neighborhoods, Family Dollar closures mean families have to travel farther for everyday essentials—especially tough for those without cars. Even pharmacies like Walgreens are quietly disappearing, making it harder for older residents to get prescriptions. With Jefferson Mall fighting to stay relevant, it feels like the whole retail landscape is shifting. How is this changing your shopping habits? #Business #LocalBusiness #Kentucky
