Buffalo Trace’s 5K Turns 20

It’s been 20 years since Buffalo Trace Distillery started its Great Buffalo Chase 5 K walk-run event that attracts over 1,000 people, including around 700 locals, to the distillery every July 4.  Proceeds of the event are donated to a local VFW post which in turn uses them to sponsor a fireworks show for the folks in Frankfort, Ky., Kentucky’s capital city.  I interviewed Sarah Newman, events manager at the distillery, about the race, other events and how she developed a career in events management.
