Region
Region is an area that is defined by certain similar characteristics. We live in the Bluegrass Region of the South East. Our region is called this because during Spring the grass makes a violet and blue bud that when seen far away (in large quantities in a field) it has a blue tint. This is a natural characteristic, but human characteristics can define a region as well. Such as, Louisville is known across the country as the home of the Kentucky Derby. This event has been happening on the first Saturday of May every year since 1875. Louisville is also known for making Slugger baseball bats and in 1995 the World's Largest Baseball Bat was built at the Louisville Slugger Musuem in Downtown Louisville. The baseball bat is 120 feet tall and weighs 34 tons.
