Winter talks about how she got her start in the restaurant business; the amusing contests and events Lynn's is known for, including the popular Ugly Lamp competition; the sense of community she promote s at the café; and her other job as a "happiness coach."
Then, Kentucky Life takes a ride with Paul Anderson, owner of Anderson Ferry in Boone County. Anderson discusses the history of the 191-year-old business and describes the operation of his three-boat fleet.
