Henderson, Ky. – John James Audubon State Park in Henderson has earned a national honor. The park was one of only five organizations nationwide to receive the National Recreation and Park Association Dorothy Mullen Arts and Humanities Award. Kim McGrew is the park's arts educator and the driving force behind the reason for the award: the annual Arts & Music Festival for special-needs children. She joins Jacque Day for this discussion.
About 500 children from Daviess, Henderson, Hopkins, Union and Webster counties attend the festival each September. McGrew says thanks to grant funding, they've been able to offer the event free to the participants.
