Voting Ends May 31st Kentucky Living Magazine is now tallying votes for their annual contest "Best In Kentucky," and a local landmark has once again made the ballot. The Historic Reed-Dossey House in Brownsville has been nominated in the top three of Kentucky's best bed and breakfasts/specialty lodging for the second year in a row. Owners Tony and Sharon Zagaros purchased the home in 2018 after retiring early as they sold their Victorian home in Minnesota and living what they thought was their best life on the road in an RV, touring the U.S. for three years. "After three years of living in a tin can, Sharon wanted a proper garden, a proper kitchen for baking and canning, and her own room for crafting, sewing, etc.," Tony said. "We were in Tucson Arizona for November & December of 2017, and started looking for a permanent place. We loved Kentucky right away when we started our RV adventure, traveling the Bourbon Trail for six weeks. We figured that we were done with the north, too hot in the deep south, hurricanes and storms on the east coast, and dry and pokey on the west coast. Looking on the internet in Kentucky, we found the Reed-Dossey House for sale and proceeded to drive directly from Tucson to Brownsville to look at it and subsequently buy it." The couple opened the property as a bed and breakfast in April 2019 with a single room with attached private bathroom suite. Afterwards, Tony said he began the process of trying to convince his lovely wife to expand their services which included stocking the bathroom with towels and supplies, remodeling the bathroom, and having multiple discussions about what would make the home the most comfortable and elegant stay for travels. We have been invited into their home for gourmet coffee and a sampling of Sharon's canned goodies, all of which were superb. Guests enjoy these goodies along with the historic and warm atmosphere of the property, along with the beautiful hospitality of the Tony and Sharon. The Edmonson Voice live weather forecast each morning from wxORnotBG's Landon Hampton has a live view from the Reed-Dossey house that overlooks Brownsville. The camera view is available 24/7 on the Weather Page of Edmonsonvoice.com. The Zagaros' are facing a challenge with the other two nominees, who each have huge social media followings. They are encouraging their Edmonson County friends to vote, and vote often for their property. It's super easy and you can vote once per day, per email address, but you better hurry as voting ends on May 31, 2024. CLICK HERE TO VOTE You can follow their FB page here.
The house is also part of the National Registry of Historic Places and has been awarded as a Kentucky Landmark designation by the Kentucky Heritage Council. Edmonson Voice Report:

King Kat is a national tournament circuit that also offers special tournament events just for kids. Saturday's event was held at Yellow Creek Park in Owensboro. After her parents, Cody and Emily Vincent saw a flyer promoting the event, the family decided to take the trip up the road for a little fun. Despite the fact that Abigail wasn't able to land the big one, the event drew three names out of 215 participants for the scholarship, where Abigail was named as one of the winners.
