Former Northern Kentucky attorney and former Kentucky gubernatorial candidate Eric Deters held Patriots Day Freedom Fest at his Morning View Farm Sept. 13 to Sept. 15.
Deters canceled the event in 2023, at which he said former President Donald Trump would be in attendance, after Trump backed out. Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., attended and spoke at this year’s event, along with Rep. Kimberly Poore Moser, R-Taylor Mill and candidate for the 67th District Terry Hatton, R-Bellevue, among others.
