Festival Can Use Monroe's Name


{Louisville, Kentucky}…Friday, the Kentucky Court of Appeals ruled that a nonprofit organization can use legendary bluegrass musician Bill Monroe's name to promote The Jerusalem Ridge Bluegrass Music Festival. Judge Joy A. Moore, writing for a three-judge panel, concluded that Ohio County officials intended to grant the festival's director the right to use Monroe's name, but failed to formalize the agreement.
