Governor Andy Beshear discussed the accomplishments of an area business during his Team Kentucky update Thursday.

The governor highlighted Kruger Packaging after his visit to their Elizabethtown Packaging Plant last week. Beshear said he was impressed with the $113 million operation.

“The project was announced back in 2021 and now it is up and fully running,” Beshear said. “It was great to check out the operation in person, which is in a 400,000-square-foot facility in the T.J. Patterson Industrial Park.”

Beshear said the Kruger plant is one of the most technologically-advanced plants of its kind, and Kruger’s investment in the E-Town community made 150 new jobs possible.

Beshear said he visited Kruger on its spirit day, and got to see a positive work environment.

“A great culture, great leadership, and everybody I talked to was so excited about this new employer and these new jobs, so I want to thank Kruger Packaging’s leaders as well as partners at LG&E and KU, which is making sure the facility has all the power that it needs.”

The Elizabethtown plant is Kruger’s only American operation, with sister facilities in Ontario and Quebec, Canada.

The schedule is set for the 2024 Summer Movie Series at the Historic State Theater.

“The Summer Movie Series is my personal favorite event that we do throughout the year at the State Theater,” said Elizabethtown Events Manager Beth Pyles. “We’re excited for our 2024 series. It’s a family-friendly movie series offering showings at noon and 7 p.m. each Tuesday this summer beginning June 4 and running through July 31.”

Tickets to each showing are $2 and offer affordable family fun.

June will feature four Disney/Pixar favorites.

“We have Cars, The Incredibles, Toy Story, and Monsters Inc., so those are the first movies in the series, and those movies are loved by, I think, young and old, so we hope people come out and see those,” Pyles said.

July’s movies were selected to follow a theme.

“We are showing movies that are based upon books,” Pyles said. “So July 2 we’ve got Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, which was one of my child’s favorite books when he was growing up.” 

The other July movies are Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, How to Eat Fried Worms, Charlotte’s Web, and Mary Poppins.

Doors open one hour prior to each showtime, and concessions will be served.

“A lot of times people tell us this is the first time they’ve brought their child to the movies because it’s movies that they can enjoy,” Pyles said. “We have young and old, so it’s open to everybody. We hope that everybody comes out and sees us.”
