Welcome to Kentucky Family Policy
This blog is dedicated to examining issues facing the Commonwealth of Kentucky and providing a nonpartisan, family perspective on public policy making. We hope to provide a forum for Kentuckians to review and discuss current legislative actions and the issues such actions are attempting to address. The opinions expressed herein belong solely to the authors and do not necessarily reflect those of the University of Kentucky, its affiliates, or its representatives.

2) Describe Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service programs and activities currently addressing issues related to legilative actions in the various counties.
3) Provide expert commentaries via podcasts and videocasts on issues relevant to current legilative actions.

Since 1980, obesity rates have doubled in adults and tripled in children, with health risks comparable to aging twenty years. Because of local need, a Second Sunday coalition planned, developed, and constructed trail infrastructure within city limits. Second Sunday drew 200 youth and adults to Dumont Hill Park for a preview of the nature trail, exploring it for a scavenger hunt after an official opening by the cross-country team. Participants also walked two half-mile trails, where living history stations manned by students, Homemakers, and Civil War re-enactors taught Civil War heritage, including mock cannon shooting. Comments included: “I didn't know that we had this great trail and property right in downtown!”
