November 26, 2003 Much to give thanks for: The Lexington Convention and Visitors Bureau celebrates winning proposals and excellent first quarter statistics. On Friday, November 21, Lexington KY was chosen as the host city by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA) as the destination for their July 2006 Convention. Chief Anthany Beatty and Major Robert Stack of the Lexington-Fayette Police Department were joined by Mr. John Pohl, Senior Destination Sales Account Executive at the Lexington Convention and Visitors Bureau (LCVB), in Colorado Springs, CO last week to make the final bid presentation for the 2006 conference. Lexington , KY , Phoenix , AZ and Norfolk , VA presented proposals to the seven-member Outreach Committee at their Commission Conference. This CALEA conference will utilize approximately 3,200 room nights as well as the Lexington Convention Center in July of 2006. Chief Anthany Beatty was quoted as saying, “The cooperative efforts of the Lexington Division of Police and the Lexington Convention and Visitors Bureau were instrumental in convincing CALEA to bring the 2006 Conference to Lexington . The conference proposal was a cooperative effort of Major Robert Stack, Accreditation Manager, and Mr. John Pohl with the LCVB. We’re excited to showcase Lexington and its highly professional police department.” The city of Lexington and the LCVB has much to be thankful for as the 2004 Thanksgiving holiday draws near. Recent successful proposals to host several large conventions, the 2004 Aldersgate Conference, the 2006 CALEA conference, and the 2008 National Rural Letter Carrier’s Convention, represent a total of 12,510 estimated room nights. In addition, the LCVB recently recorded excellent first quarter statistics for fiscal year 2003/2004. The attainment of these conventions and overall increases are due to the diligence and hard work of the entire LCVB staff and have lead to an overwhelming sense of accomplishment. The LCVB tracks statistics on leisure visitors, destination sales, hotel occupancy and editorial marketing on a quarterly basis. Increases in all areas were reported for the first quarter of fiscal year 2003/2004 as compared to first quarter statistics for fiscal year 2002/2003. Within the leisure tourism reporting area, phone calls to the LCVB 800 number were up by 46%, email or Internet data forms showed a 31% increase, visitors to the Georgetown visitor center were up by 18% and total visitor packets mailed to prospective visitors increased by 29%. Destination Sales reported a 20% increase in the number of conventions held in Lexington . As a result, 16,381 more convention room nights were utilized and 16,428 more people attended conventions. Future conventions booked for Lexington are up 81% and room nights associated with these conventions are up 40%. Overall Lexington hotel occupancy statistics reveal a 9% increase in occupied rooms with estimated hotel room revenue up by 9% as well. Editorial marketing for Lexington and the Bluegrass Region remains strong with the number of media contacts during the first quarter up 225% and the number of articles published is up by 58%. The advertising equivalency associated with these articles is up 192%.

Blake, who in 2002 was voted the sexiest male athlete by People Magazine, is ranked 36 th in the world. “This should be a tremendous event to raise money for our tennis program,” Coach Dennis Emery said. “To have this level of talent coming to Lexington is a rare feat, not only for the tennis community here in the state, but for everyone who appreciates watching sports played at the highest level. Roddick is the future of American tennis, and Blake is not far behind and both have huge followings among the younger set. “Were excited that Game Seven, the Lexus Store and the Lexington Tennis Club have joined forces to benefit our tennis program.” Only the lower arena will be available for spectators and seats are priced at $40 and $30.

Source: Lexington Convention and Visitors Bureau Lexington , KY , August 18, 2003 – The Lexington Convention and Visitors Bureau in conjunction with the Lexington Convention Center is proud to announce that the 2008 National Rural Letter Carriers’ Annual Convention will take place in Lexington , KY. After an extensive bidding process and stiff competition from the Greater Cincinnati Convention and Visitors Bureau, Lexington won the final bid with 80% of the vote. The National Rural Letter Carriers’ Association will utilize about 7,500 room nights over their weeklong convention. Estimated economic impact for a convention this size and duration totals $3.5 million. * Voting for the 2008 destination took place at the August Annual Convention in Chicago , where the National Rural Letter Carriers’ Association marked their 100 th anniversary. The bidding process for the 2008 National Convention began in October of 2002. Lexington was one of over two dozen destinations competing for this large event. Months later, seven destinations, Cincinnati , Louisville , Sioux Falls , Des Moines , Milwaukee , Lexington and Overland Park , just outside Kansas City , were identified as potential sites. After thorough site visits, only Lexington and Cincinnati were selected to attend the 2003 meeting and deliver full presentations to the entire 5,000-member delegation. After the final vote, Mr. Fankie Hunt of the Kentucky Rural Letter Carriers’ Delegation said, “The Lexington Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Lexington Convention Center , the Lexington hotels and all of the members of the Kentucky Rural Letter Carriers’ Delegation did an excellent job of getting everyone excited about coming to Lexington .” Several factors ultimately played into the group’s decision to meet in Lexington . Foremost among them was the Lexington Convention Center expansion. For many years the Kentucky delegation of the Rural Letter Carriers’ Association has held their annual meeting in Lexington , but facilities were too small to meet the demands of the National Convention. The Lexington Convention Center is in the midst of a $50 million renovation and expansion. Upon completion in 2004, a new conference center, grand ballroom and two new pre-function areas will expand exhibit and meeting spaces at the Lexington Convention Center to a total of 130,000 square feet. When the National Rural Letter Carriers’ Association arrives in 2008 they will use the entire space. According to Joe Fields, Director of Convention Sales at the Lexington Convention Center says, “This is a great example of how vitally important the expansion is in keeping Lexington competitive in the convention and meeting market. Without it, quite simply, Lexington would not have been eligible to bid.” Large convention business is essential to the economic well being of tourism in small markets such as Lexington . Researchers have found that convention delegates meeting in small markets spend on average about $224 per day. The ability to book larger groups due to improvements at the Lexington Convention Center is sure to have a positive impact on tourism in Lexington and central Kentucky . * Economic impact numbers based on International Association of Convention and Visitors Bureaus 2001 Income Survey Source: Lexington Convention and Visitors Bureau July 30, 2003 "Seabiscuit" Equine Actor Makes Kentucky Horse Park Home I Two Step Too Will Be Featured Daily In The Kentucky Horse Park Breeds Barn LEXINGTON, KY-- I Two Step Too, one of the nine horses that played Seabiscuit in the feature film Seabiscuit will soon be making the Kentucky Horse Park his permanent home. The Thoroughbred, purchased by the Kentucky Horse Park Foundation for the park, will make his premiere appearance as “Seabiscuit” in the park’s daily Parade of Breeds presentation at 2:00 pm on Thursday, July 31. “The Kentucky Horse Park is such a natural home for a Hollywood Star such as I Two Step Too,” said Lulu Davis, Kentucky Horse Park Foundation board member. “I am glad that I was able to head up the effort to ensure the park would become his permanent home.” I Two Step Too was featured in the Seabiscuit festivities at the Louisville premiere of the movie on July 19, and was auctioned off at the charity fundraiser event that evening. Proceeds from the purchase of I Two Step Too will benefit the Race for Education Foundation, a scholarship foundation dedicated to reaching out to young people within the Thoroughbred industry. “ Seabiscuit has helped to rekindle and reinforce America’s passion for horses and the sport of racing,” said John Nicholson, Executive Director for the Kentucky Horse Park. “We are proud to welcome one of the stars of this cinema epic to the Kentucky Horse Park. I Two Step Too will help us to tell this wonderful story for years to come.” Nine Thoroughbreds were chosen to depict Seabiscuit for the film based on Laura Hillenbrand’s best-selling book, Seabiscuit . The film had four categories of equine actors they needed to fill with horses capable of portraying Seabiscuit in different scenes - “racing,” “blow by,” “trick” and “fighting” Seabiscuits. I Two Step Too, age 10, is a registered Thoroughbred gelding who was cast as a “blow by” Seabiscuit, because he could turn on the speed and blow by the other horses pulling into the lead. He as well as all the other Thoroughbreds working on the film accompanied the rest of the cast and crew on each production move, which included Keeneland Race Track in Lexington, KY. I Two Step Too will be featured twice daily in the Parade of Breeds presentations held in the Kentucky Horse Park’s Breeds Barn starting Kids Weekend, Saturday and Sunday, August 2 and 3.

Stephen Dawahare and Joseph Montgomery purchased the property from Mr. Kilbern Cormey in October 2002, and are in the midst of a $10 million renovation project on the 52-year-old hotel. “We are so excited to be leading the Renaissance of such a historic property,” said Dawahare. “The Campbell House has been a part of the Lexington community for so long, it would be a shame to let it fall into disrepair. When the opportunity to come in and renovate this great facility presented itself, we jumped at it.” The renovations, which are scheduled for completion in early 2004, began in spring 2003 with a major overhaul of the lobby, restaurant, and ballroom. By the end of this year, virtually all of the property will be renovated, including guest rooms, meeting rooms, bars, swimming pool, and kitchens. A new nightclub will be added inside of the hotel as well. Already, the lobby, Presidential Suite, Calumet Suite, Colonial Hall, and Mason-Headley Room have been completed. Additionally, the restaurant and kitchen have been completely renovated and rechristened Kilbern’s, after longtime owner Kilbern A. Cormney. Renovations to the guest rooms have begun as well. The hotel will remain open for business throughout the renovation process, as guest rooms are renovated in blocks so as not to disturb any guests. Once the renovation is completely finished, guest rooms will feature high-speed DSL data ports, hair dryers, irons and ironing boards, coffee makers, refrigerators, and personal amenities baskets. The Campbell House features 291 rooms and suites, two retail food facilities, an expansive lounge, and 19,620 square feet of function space distributed among eight meeting rooms.

The public will get its first look from 2-4 p.m., July 13 at Georgetown College’s Anne Wright Wilson Fine Arts Building. There will be a number of special events, including programs featuring the Swiss-born artist’s central Kentucky connections, before the show concludes August 31. Sponsored by the Georgetown and Scott County Museum and the Georgetown College art department, the exhibition will draw from private and institutional collections from across the country. Artifacts that relate to Troye, along with pamphlets and brochures pertaining to exhibitions of his work, will be among the displays. The exhibit will include five Holy Land and Syrian paintings completed in Antwerp following an 1855-1856 trip into the Bedouin desert by Troye and his Georgetown patron Alexander Keene Richards. The pair undertook the daring expedition to locate and purchase Arabian breeding stock which Richards believed would enhance established Thoroughbred lines. The exhibit’s signature portrait shows Richards dressed as a Bedouin sheik with the Arabian stallion Mokhladi in a desert setting. Troye’s portraits of blooded stock are painted against elegant landscapes and some include jockeys and handlers. Also to be displayed are three portraits of individuals and two of cattle. The earliest works on exhibit will include an 1833 portrait of the racing stallion Goliah, painted near one of Colonel William Ransom Johnson’s stables near Petersburg, Virginia; an 1834 painting of the racing and breeding mare Clara Fisher of South Carolina; and an early painting of American Eclipse on loan from the National Museum of Racing. Troye’s latest works in the show will include an 1872 painting of Longfellow at the W. Frank Harper farm near Midway, and the 1871 painting of Dixiana Farm’s Major Barak Thomas’ namesake broodmare, Dixie, a New York Jockey Club contribution to the show. An 1842 mezzotint plate of Troye’s portrait of Grey Eagle and his 32 by 37-inch painting of Wagner will recall the 1839 West-East contest at Louisville’s Oakland course. Grey Eagle, bought by Georgetown’s A.L. Shotwell in the spring of 1839, in 1838 had set a new American record. Wagner, however, won the 1839 sweepstakes. Exhibit hours are Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday from 1-4 p.m. Full color catalogs with historical background and photographs of portraits will sell for $12. Admission will be $6 for adults. Admission and catalog may be purchased jointly for $16. There will be no admission charge for students. For additional information, contact John Toncray or Andrea Giusti of the museum staff, (502) 863-6201.

Since renovation got underway in May of 2001, with demolition crews applying the wrecking ball to the meeting rooms and ballrooms of Heritage Hall, the facility has been going about "business as usual," hosting meetings and events while working around inconveniences typically associated with major construction projects. Lexington Center announced today that Mary Kay Inc. would be the first group to occupy these newly rebuilt spaces when they hold a 2000-person sales meeting in Lexington in March 2003. The all-new, reconfigured meeting rooms attached to the Center’s 66,000 sf of exhibition space will offer 11,000 sf of meeting rooms and feature nearly 9,000 sf of flexible pre-function space. In addition, the area will have two large, permanent registration areas. The Center also announced the anticipated Spring 2003 completion of its new 17,000 sf grand ballroom. Scheduled to open in May 2003, the grand ballroom will be the largest of its kind in central Kentucky and will feature a 9000 sf pre-function area with a dramatic view of downtown Lexington and Triangle Park. "The response from customers to our new space has been outstanding. The new renovation gives us a quality and flexibility that moves us to a much higher level of competitiveness in the meetings market," said Joe Fields, Director of Convention Management . Completion of the remaining portion of the $50 million project, the vitally important conference area adjacent to the new grand ballroom, is being delayed due to the failure of the Kentucky State Legislature to pass a budget. When complete, this area will give Lexington Center an additional 20,000 sf of meeting and pre-function space. However, the multi-use entertainment, convention, and shopping complex has already been dramatically improved to meet the demands of the convention industry. For meeting planners and convention attendees, Lexington offers convenient accessibility by air or interstate highways. Located in the heart of historic downtown, first-class hotels and shops and restaurants are all within walking distance of the 140,000-Lexington Convention Center.
