This is a short video of pictures a friend and I took of Hillbilly Days in my hometown of Pikeville, Ky. We set the video to the song Man of Constant Sorrow because it just seemed appropriate. The Shriners holds this festival every year to raise money for the Shriners hospital for disabled children. The hospital turns away no child in need. Please enjoy your viewing.

Kentucky ranks 40th out of the 50 states in average annual income.
Kentucky’s problem is that they keep re-electing Mitch McConnell into office.
Mitch McConnell is worth over 30 million dollars and has 5 of his top campaign contributors being wall street bankers. Mitch McConnell is bought and paid for by wall street and does not care about the middle class in Kentucky.
Wake up middle class Kentucky! If you want to make some money, do not vote for Mitch McConnell !
