A Taste of the Kentucky Doughnut Trail

(See times below), Gatton Student Center Ballrooms

In 2012, The New York Times article “Twists and Turns along the Kentucky Doughnut Trail” brought well-deserved publicity to many of the region’s fine doughnut purveyors and introduced the country to one of Kentucky’s sweetest secrets. Now we are bringing those sweet treats to you! Drop in to sample doughnuts and baked goods from some of our favorite local bakeries; then vote for your favorite! Limited gluten-free options available.
