Kentucky Trivia for a Snow Day

Happy Thursday, y'all! We've got beautiful, crisp skies here in Louisville and it's a lovely January day!

OK, I'm not kidding anyone. It's miserably cold outside. I'm sure many of y'all have kids who are home from school and going stir crazy. Even my dogs are getting into the cabin fever spirit. They ask to go outside, get as far as the porch, then realize that they hate it outside. This has now happened twice thrice.

Since we're all looking for some things to do while staying inside, here's a Kentucky  trivia game to keep your kids occupied.
