Wynonna has her day in Ashland

ASHLAND June 24, 2006 12:08 am

— Country music star and Ashland native Wynonna Judd opened this year's Kentucky Music Trail Series on Friday night at the Paramount Arts Center. But prior to the start of the concert, Wynonna had casts of her hands made in concrete and clay. The concrete is for an eventual wall display at the Pendleton Art Center and the clay will be for a display at the PAC.
Friday was declared "Wynonna Judd Day" in Ashland and fans celebrated with a block party at Judd Plaza during the afternoon.
