Roundabouts in Rural Kentucky: Lessons Learned the Hard Way

Recently, a new roundabout popped up near my hometown in rural eastern Kentucky. At first, I was excited—finally, some modern traffic flow! But watching folks try to navigate it was eye-opening. I saw drivers stopping in the middle, missing their exits, and even going the wrong way. It made me realize how important it is to slow down, yield to traffic already in the circle, and signal your exit. If you’re unsure, take a practice drive when it’s not busy.

In Kentucky, “The Strawberry Festival at The Cottage” in Owensboro, KY is shaping up to be one of the most fun events of the summer season for 2026! Held June 13 and 14 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., this lively festival fills the grounds with more than 150 vendors, food trucks, and family fun. The smell of fresh strawberries and sweet treats like shortcake and pies fills the air while you stroll past booths selling crafts, gifts, and local goods. Live music and entertainment play throughout the day as crowds gather to enjoy the relaxed country setting. Kids can meet animals at the petting zoo, ride ponies, bounce on inflatables, or get their faces painted. A classic car show adds even more to see, with polished cars lined up for judging. With shopping, food, music, and fresh berries everywhere, it’s a full day of summer fun. #Kentucky #kentuckylife #kentuckyliving #owensboroky
