From the Jul 16, 2024 e-Edition
Travis McLeese, a Bethel graduate and former director of the Paris-Henry County Chamber of Commerce, was the featured speaker at McKenzie Rotary Club on Tuesday, July 9.
McLeese is now working with Bluespire Media, a new company that works with entertainer Darryl Worley and his Wisdom and Whiskey Podcast, Highway 57 Music Festival in Covington, and the Bluespire Kitchen - a cooking show.
Bluespire is also developing a project around the Kentucky Lake. That project is yet to be announced, said McLeese.
He said he gets to work with many talented people and travels to Montana for some of the gigs. This week, the crew is at the Republican National Convention.
McLeese resides in Paris, Tenn.
