Green River commemorating Army's 250th birthday
Green River Distilling Co. plans to celebrate the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary on June 14 with a limited-release whiskey that will be available through the next year. It will have a suggested retail price of $49.99. The bourbon is a small batch selection of 4- to 7-year-old barrels with a mashbill of 77% corn, 14% rye and 9% malted barley. It will be available at select military bases, Green River's distillery in Owensboro and its sipping room in Louisville, and at select online and retail locations. The company says, 'This full-bodied Kentucky bourbon displays caramel, black cherry, cocoa, and peppermint. The rich mouthfeel of toffee and toasted oak leads to a lightly spiced, bold finish that's wholly distinct to this official whiskey honoring the U.S. Army.' A portion of the proceeds will go toward wellbeing, sports, fitness, libraries, entertainment and recreation for military members and their families. • UniFirst Corporation's Owensboro Distribution and Fulfillment Center has achieved two safety milestones. It recently received the Voluntary Protection Program Star certification from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the Governor's Safety and Health Award. This is the fourth time the local distribution center has earned the Governor's Award. • If you want to get a jump on buying fireworks this year, a fireworks tent is now up at 3000 Alvey Park Drive. • GasBuddy says the national average price of gas will be $3.08 this weekend. That's the lowest inflation-adjusted price since 2003. • Kentucky Realtors says $1.22 billion worth of real estate was sold in the state in April. That's up 3.4% from a year ago and 12.2% from March. The median sales price was $263,000. • A new report from Amazon shows that small businesses in Kentucky averaged more than $180,000 in sales of more than 20 million items last year. • RetailMeNot says 36% of us plan to shop Memorial Day sales, up 18% from last year. They say we'll spend an average of $289, down $8 from last year. • Unemployment rates fell in 81 counties, rose in 31 and stayed the same in eight between April 2024 and April 2025, according to the Kentucky Center for Statistics. Woodford County had the lowest jobless rate at 3.1% and Martin County had the highest at 9.3%. In our area, Daviess had a 3.9% rate last month, 5.3% in March and 4.2% a year ago.
