Benny Snell signs autographs for five hours at KSBar and Grille

by:Jack Pilgrim01/12/19
Former Kentucky star Benny Snell has quite the number of fans around the bluegrass, and last night he proved how appreciative he is of each and every one of them. At his first appearance on the #SnellYeahTour at KSBar and Grille, Benny Snell was met with a crowd of hundreds of Kentucky fans ready to say hello, take pictures, and receive autographs. The line was out the door, as fans gathered in the patio and on the sidewalk in front of the restaurant. When I tried to come in to take pictures and videos, I was told the building reached max capacity and no more people were allowed in due to Fire Code.

Snell stayed until 11:00 p.m., signing autographs and taking pictures with fans for five hours straight. If you came to KSBar and Grille and had a ticket, the former Kentucky Wildcat made sure you left with what you came for. Every. Single. Fan. And his signing tour has just begun. After his appearance at KSBar and Grille, Snell headed to Wings Pizza N Things in Campbellsville this afternoon from 12-2 p.m. https://twitter.com/benny_snell/status/1084107339286888448 Like last night, the line was out the door with fans ready to meet Kentucky's all-time rushing leader. https://twitter.com/ChadShively/status/1084120055963623425 And he met every fan with a grin on his face. https://twitter.com/ChadShively/status/1084155133741674496 Did you miss Benny at either of his first two stops? You're in luck. The former Wildcat will head to Academy Sports + Outdoors in Elizabethtown this afternoon from 5-7 p.m. for his last stop of the day. And then tomorrow, Snell will head to Academy Sports + Outdoors in Middletown from 1-3 p.m. followed by Barleycorn's in Cold Spring from 6-8 p.m. to close things out. [mobile_ad]
