Editor’s Note: This is part of a series recognizing each of the 50 states by providing state specific grants for each. These articles follow the National Day Calendar Year. The calendar began celebrating each state in the order they entered the union in 2017 starting the week of Independence Day. Kentucky was the 15th state to join the union and is celebrated on Oct. 19.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, in honor of National Kentucky Day,\u00a0GrantWatch<\/a>\u00a0is sharing some of its favorite grants below that are specifically for the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kentucky’s nickname is the Bluegrass State due to the species of grass that is there. The terrain proves especially helpful when it comes to the biggest event the state is famous for, the Kentucky Derby. The\u00a0annual horse race\u00a0held in Louisville is part of the two-week-long\u00a0Kentucky Derby Festival. The derby has been going on since 1875 and brings in a lot of revenue to the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Located in the southeastern region of the U.S., the state is also known for its southern values, family traditions and most of all it’s homestyle cooking. It is even the birthplace of the world’s second-largest restaurant chain, Kentucky Fried Chicken, which is headquartered in Louisville. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The state is also home to around 95 percent of all bourbon, because of its widespread limestone deposits which act as natural purifiers. This makes their bourbon sweeter than most. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to these interesting facts about the state, here are a few other facts<\/a> you might not know about Kentucky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
