Jefferson County Public Schools is hosting its annual middle and high school showcase Friday and Saturday.

One of the most prominent names associated with Kentucky bourbon is Beam.
The Beam family began making whiskey in 1795, but it was Jim Beam who put the product on the map, building the brand bearing his name after Prohibition.
