Dawson Springs, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear and Lt. Gov.

The Governor and Lieutenant Governor teamed up with University of Kentucky (UK) men's basketball coach John Calipari and Manny Ohonme, president and CEO of Samaritan's Feet, to pass out shoes to displaced Kentuckians staying at two Kentucky state resort parks. They were also joined by UK athletics director Mitch Barnhart and former men's basketball players Darius Miller and Jack Givens.

"We are all neighbors in Kentucky," said Gov. Beshear. "We love one another and we look out for one another. And my commitment to the folks of Western Kentucky is, we won't be here just this week or this month, but we will be here every single day for however long it takes to rebuild every building and every life, to get everyone as close as we can to where they need to be."
