FOR THE ONES FLYING IN
Having spoke with Richard "FIG" Figueroa about flying in, he recommends the ones flying in, 
to fly into -- the Lexington, KY airport.  This is a smaller airport than Louisville and a few miles farther, but, you will jump on the Blue Grass PKWY and its a direct shot into Bardstown.  Much less traffic and congestion.
Getting your rental car, is also so much easier.  (Your Choice --- Lexington or Louisville).
