Hosted by Miss America 2000, Heather French Henry, the Best in Kentucky Awards are a celebration of our hometowns, our people and our favorite places. Electric co-ops are led by, belong to and were built by local Kentuckians in the communities they serve. These awards are a fantastic reflection of this community spirit.

Since the awards began 14 years ago, Kentucky Living readers have annually cast votes to choose their favorites in categories ranging from food and beverages to destinations and outdoor activities.
