The sun always shines a little brighter over the vibrant state of Kentucky; a land of rolling bluegrass hills, fast horses, and of course, finger-lickin' good chicken. But wait, chickens are not the only ones having a clucking good time here. Kids in Kentucky have discovered an exciting and unique activity, glasswork! In the heart of the state, you'll find a group of kids huddled around in their safety goggles and gloves, their faces aglow with the fiery furnace that they fondly call “Sir Hots-a-lot.” Like a scene straight out of a fantasy novel, they skillfully shape molten glass into vibrant, shimmering pieces. The leader of this adventurous group is a spunky girl named Molly, who sports a quirky hat made entirely of soda bottle caps! Molly, with her bright green goggles that make her resemble a tiny, excited alien, keeps everyone chuckling with her jokes. "Why did the glass go to school?" she asks. "Because it wanted to be a little sharper!" Their teamwork is as seamless as glass itself. While Jimmy, a young boy with freckles splattered across his face like a galaxy of stars, carefully handles the hot molten glass with a long metal rod, Molly stands ready with her tools to mold it into a beautiful glass horse. The end result is always a dazzling piece of art, as colorful and vibrant as a Kentucky sunset. So, if you thought Kentucky was all about horse racing and fried chicken, you're in for a surprise! These Kentucky kids are crafting their own magical world, one piece of glass at a time. And let me tell you, it's a sight as sparkling as the twinkle in Molly's eyes when she pulls out a freshly created glass masterpiece from Sir Hots-a-lot!
