Owner Chris Boling and Dr. Richie Kessler of the Nature Conservancy point out its many natural features and what led the Boling family to protect it with the Kentucky Heritage Land Conservation Fund.

Next, Kentucky Life explores of one of the state's oldest and most prominent arts organizations, the Kentucky Guild of Artists and Craftsmen. Early on, it existed as a traveling exhibit, bringing art to rural parts of the state on a train. In the late 19 60s, its Guild Fair began in Berea, a tradition that continues to this day.

Finally , the program features Kittawa Sprangs Dippin' Sauce, which began as one man's way to give back. Dan Smith, a pastor in Hawesville, Ky., was looking for a way to contribute to the community while providing part-time employment for his adolescent children. His quest resulted in the creation of a mighty tangy sauce. The proceeds from sale of the sauce benefit Methodist Children's homes in the Commonwealth .
