The following news story regarding Lexington entrepreneur Kaelyn Query appeared in USA TODAY in March, 2024:

Kaelyn entered the world of entrepreneurship at a young age. Unlike most teenagers her age, Kaelyn was one of the few fortunate ones to realize their passion and calling early on. Working for a catering company while balancing her studies enabled her to discover her love for event planning and production. She then immediately started her first business, although unofficially, as a side hustle.

The young entrepreneur continued to enhance her skills while pursuing her education at the University of Kentucky. She juggled her coursework with managing restaurants and producing events on the side, all while gaining valuable experience and insights into the hospitality and events industry. Kaelyn officially launched Lexington Event Company, now Kentucky Event Company, in 2013.
