We couldn't be more pleased or prouder. Our thanks to the community for their support.

THE TOURISM AWARD IS PRESENTED EACH YEAR TO THE INDIVIDUAL OR BUSINESS THAT HAS MADE OUTSTANDING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE TOURISM BUSINESS BASE OF WOODFORD COUNTY.

THIS YEAR’S AWARD WINNER IS LOCATED RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF THE CHARMING COMMUNITY OF MIDWAY… THE THOROUGHBRED THEATER.

OPERATED BY JIM AND JOHN MCDANIEL, THE THOROUGHBRED THEATRE WAS

REOPENED IN OCTOBER 2007, OFFERING OPPORTUNITIES IN THE PERFORMING ARTS AND SPECIAL EVENTS, AND MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF ENTERTAINMENT.

IT HAS TAKEN A LOT OF HARD WORK, SWEAT AND TEARS, BUT WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE MIDWAY MERCHANTS AND RESTAURANTS, AS WELL AS RESIDENTS OF WOODFORD COUNTY AND SURROUNDING COUNTIES THE THEATER IS DOING WELL, WITH HOPES OF BEING MORE SUCCESSFUL IN COMING YEARS.
