In his latest stop in Oldham County, Republican U.S. Senate candidate Matt Bevin pushed back against attacks by the man he hopes to replace: U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell.

Bevin, who has made several trips to Oldham and surrounding counties since announcing his campaign against McConnell, spoke Tuesday to the Oldham County Republican Women’s Club.

In an hour-long speech and question-and-answer session with the club, Bevin pushed back on a few key attack lines McConnell’s campaign has latched onto, including its claim he falsified his resume.

A sleepy, blue-eyed three-year-old takes a small musical recorder and holds it close to his mouth.

When it comes to event space, one of the region’s best-kept secrets is sitting in plain sight in Pewee Valley.

The building’s time as a telephone exchange is reflected in its name and use of the original façade, owners Laura and Kevin Hall said.
