Who are owners of renfro valley in kentucky?

Don and Vera Evans are currently the owners of Renfro Valley Entertainment Center (Renfro Valley LLC).

The Evanses purchased the entertainment center from the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame. The entertainment center had previously been given to the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame by Warren Rosenthal, who had owned it since 1992. (Rosenthal was the founder of the Jerry's and Long John Silver's Restaurant chains prior to his involvement in Renfro Valley.)

Prior to this time, Renfro Valley had been owned by a group of investors who had purchased it in 1989. This group included Lexington TV executive Ralph Gabbard, Berea businessman Glenn Pennington (who was also the father of J.P. Pennington of the country group Exile), and others (eventually including Rosenthal, who then became the sole owner in 1992.)

Renfro Valley's founder John Lair passed away in 1985. Prior to his death, he had at one point leased, and then sold the entertainment center, to a group of investors from Nashville (which included Ray Price, Willie Nelson, Hank Cochran, and Hal Smith) and had then later bought it back.

Initially, at the beginning of the shows in Renfro Valley in 1939, John Lair's partners were Red Foley, Whitey Ford (known as the comedy act "The Duke of Paducah"), and a silent partner, businessman Freeman Keyes.

It is important to note that all of this refers to the Renfro Valley Entertainment Center, which consists of the Old and New Barn show theaters, shopping village, restaurants, motel, RV parks, and festival field.

"Renfro Valley" is a community which includes not only the entertainment center, but the surrounding area. There is a Renfro Valley United States Post Office (zip code 40473). The entire area, consisting of various other businesses with other owners, and residences, is part of the city limits of the town of Mount Vernon, Kentucky, which annexed the Renfro Valley area several years ago.
