Join Jonas Hurley for an informative Lunch with the Arts, as he discusses the history of anagama kilns, the history of the kiln built in Danville by Mack Jackson, Stephen Powell and Centre College students, and the restoration project that has led to a functioning anagama, dubbed the Dragon Fire Anagama Kiln. 
Jonas is an avid potter, teacher, collector, and kiln master who spent nearly a year lovingly restoring this Japanese-style wood-burning kiln. He will talk about design changes in the refurbishing process, his method and approach to wood-firing pottery, and the success of the April 2026 inaugural firing as he prepares for the next in October.

Keeneland Library will host Avalyn Hunter in discussion of "Holy Bull: An Unconventional Path to Racing Glory."

Holy Bull’s path to glory was anything but ordinary. Born outside the Bluegrass and destined for racing’s blue-collar ranks, this gray colt did not inspire Triple Crown dreams. Yet owner and trainer Warren “Jimmy” Croll saw his champion’s potential. Croll and jockey Mike Smith took Holy Bull all the way to the Kentucky Derby, but a lethargic performance ended in a twelfth-place finish. This could have ended their aspirations, but the team came back stronger. Just weeks after the Derby, Holy Bull returned to dominate the rest of the racing season with incredible speed and drive.

Holy Bull: An Unconventional Path to Racing Glory captures the spirit of 1994’s Horse of the Year, following Holy Bull’s career from humble beginnings to the Hall of Fame and highlighting the experiences of the people behind his success. The result is a gripping portrait of a remarkable horse. A compelling account of an underdog’s rise to greatness, Holy Bull contains the grit of the stables and the thrill of the racetrack.

Avalyn Hunter is a nationally recognized authority on Thoroughbred pedigrees and racing history whose work has appeared in the Blood-Horse, Thoroughbred Times, Owner-Breeder International, MarketWatch, New York Breeder, and Louisiana Horse. She is the author of many equine-related titles, including "The Kentucky Oaks: 150 Years of Running for the Lilies" and "Dream Derby: The Myth and Legend of Black Gold."
