I know you didn't mean to, but your post made it sound like you were suprised that people in Hazard weren't obvious rednecks. You know, the men all wear bib overalls, the kids don't have shoes, and the women are pregnant and missing at least half their teeth!
Just poking fun at ya! Hope you don't take offense. Most of the money in Hazard comes from mining and trucking, both which pay very well. The stereotype of the area is really wrong, as it is for most of the people in the state.
If you liked the area, you'll have to go back and visit when they are having their Black Gold festival. We went a couple of years back, and had a blast. Live music, crafts, vendors, and food food food! While your at it, check out some more of our wonderful state. I'm sure you will have a great time, and fall in love with the area! ~joanna~
