The Voting Academy Says

They have amazing staff and anything you need, including a tucked-away post office.

“Good people who are always helpful. Well-stocked and -maintained.”

“Particularly love the selection of great grilling supplies!”

We asked Brownsboro Hardware to share something that says something essential about them…

“For 16 years, Brownsboro Hardware & Paint has hosted the EggFEST Food Festival, with all participants cooking on a Big Green Egg grill. In that time, EggFEST has become a popular community event of the summer. We’ve raised nearly $450,000 for local food charities, including Kentucky Harvest and A Recipe to End Hunger. During the holidays, we’ve also raised money to place wreaths on veterans’ graves at Zachary Taylor National Cemetery. Our philosophy is: Invest in the community that invests in us.”
