LEXINGTON, KY - Native Kentuckian Wynonna Judd will welcome the world to Kentucky with a special performance at the Opening Ceremony of the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games, event organizers said.
Plans call for Wynonna to perform “My Old Kentucky Home” in a pinnacle moment of the Opening Ceremonies on the evening of September 25, WEG officials announced Wednesday morning at Commerce Lexington’s Good Morning Bluegrass breakfast.
“This song, with this artist, in a stadium of 30,000 spectators, is going create a magical moment for everyone, regardless of their home state or country,” said Dr. Everett McCorvey, whose company, Global Creative Connection, is producing the ceremonies. “Wynonna represents but one of many different genres to be showcased in our ceremonies, and we are so honored to have her.”
The event at the Kentucky Horse Park will feature more than 200 horses, a symphony orchestra and chorale, all of whom will showcase Kentucky’s, and America’s, equestrian and musical heritage to the world.
“I could not be more thrilled to have the opportunity to return home to my roots. Kentucky holds such a sacred place in my heart and to have this honor to share the home I so dearly love with my friends and family brings me great joy,” Judd remarked in a press statement. More.
