The swearing-in ceremony for Governor Beshear and Lieutenant Governor Coleman was an impressive array of music and speakers. Often, such events can wind up being pompous and/or boring, but this one was different. The speakers were warm (in contrast to the weather), engaging, and inspiring. It felt like a celebration of a new beginning, and so it was.
Here are some pictures taken by Berry Craig and myself. We tried to capture not only the persons involved, but also something of the setup and the crowd. Read the captions to learn more.
