products and textiles have accounted for a major increase in industry,

Casey County provides
fertile farmland, rich forests and ideal industrial sites for its
residents.
Casey County
has more peach and apple trees than any other county in Kentucky. To
celebrate the apple harvest, a special oven was made to bake the
world's largest apple pie. This monster pie measured 8 feet across and
6 inches deep. It took 30 bushels of apples, 200 lbs. of sugar and
spices besides the huge crust to make a pie weighing 1,200 lbs...it
served 3,000 people a generous helping. |
