PIKEVILLE, Ky. –  Hillbilly Days is one of the largest festivals in Kentucky, where hundreds of vendors and more than 100,000 people converge once a year.  It is known for the old cars and “hillbillies” who gather on the corner of Main Street and Huffman Avenue, where they will tell you exactly why they make the trip year after year.  EKB’s Gary Slone sat down with a Shriner at this year’s festival who explained it is all “for the kids.”
