Do your shopping in the capital — and help the capitol, too
Looking for a stocking-stuffer?
State government might have just what you need.
That’s right.
Do your holiday shopping with the state.
The Kentucky Finance and Administration Cabinet’s Division of Historic Properties has released its 2008 Kentucky State Capitol ornament, the sixth in a limited-edition series.
“This year’s ornament features the west lunette, depicting the Treaty of Sycamore Shoals,” the announcement says. “It is a complement to the 2006 ornament, fourth in the series, which features the Daniel Boone east lunette from the Great Hall of the New State Capitol.”
The 2006 ornament is being reissued at $20 each, the same price as the 2008 ornament.
The capitol ornament series began in 2003 and a few from some previous years are still available.
Proceeds go a preservation fund for the capitol building.
The ornaments are available at Berry Mansion in Frankfort; the Frankfort/Franklin County Tourism office, the Thomas D. Clark Center for Kentucky History in Frankfort and online at

Holiday shopping with state government — what a concept.
