The purpose of this activity is to choose a famous Kentucky Leader that you would like to research.

Written Description

The last step in this process is to write a written description of the Kentucky Leader you chose.

I chose to write about Duncan Hines. I chose him because I love to cook and bake. Duncan Hines is from Bowling Green and became a great leader and is well known all over the world for his famous “Cakes” and “Sweet Treats.”
